Steve Bruce's Hull are still without a Premier League win in the month of May, drawing three times and losing eight.

Burnley's first win in seven matches was not enough to stop them from suffering relegation.

Match-winner and reported Liverpool target Danny Ings ended a run of 10 Premier League matches without a goal.

West Brom striker Victor Anichebe scored his fifth goal against Newcastle, which is more than he has scored against any other Premier League side.

Newcastle have now gone nine Premier League games without a win - their longest run since 2009.

Under John Carver, the Magpies have won just one of their nine matches at St James' Park.


Stoke City 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur

All seven of Marouane Fellaini's goals for Manchester United have been scored this season.

The 67 goals that relegated QPR have conceded so far is the most that they have ever shipped in a Premier League season.

Leading goalscorer Sergio Aguero's hat-trick took his tally for the campaign to 25, which is five more than second-placed Harry Kane.

The Argentine has scored six goals in his five appearances against the West Londoners.

Arsene Wenger named the same Arsenal starting lineup for the fifth Premier League game running - the first time he's ever done so since taking charge of the club.

The Swans have become only the third team in Premier League history to have completed the double over both Arsenal and Man United in the same season.

French striker Bafetimbi Gomis has found the net four times in his last four outings.
