Arsenal Vs West Ham United
Arsenal beat West Ham United 4-1
This was the first match since Arsene Wenger announced he would be leaving the club after almost 22 years on Friday April 20,2018
Victory was also the perfect warm-up to Thursday's Europa League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid
Stoke City Vs Burnley
The Match ended in a 1-1 draw
Manchester City Vs Swansea City
Manchester City beat Swansea City 5-0
Pep Guardiola's hope that his team's hunger to rewrite the English football record books would see them maintain their championship-winning form proved well-founded as Manchester City swept aside Swansea City 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The only negative aspect of the occasion for the newly-crowned Premier League champions was a post-match pitch invasion by several hundred City supporters, who ignored pleas over the loudspeakers to burst through stewards and onto the field.
With the league safely won, Guardiola had warned that his players will find next season far tougher -- both in terms of the opposition and his own demands -- and hoped that the chance to set new historical marks would prove an inspiration over the remainder of this campaign.
And another emphatic victory certainly left City, who have four games remaining against teams in the bottom eight of the league, well placed to do precisely that.
They stand one victory short of Chelsea's Premier League record tally of 30, set last season, and with 90 points, are also well on course to break the record of 95 points, again set by Chelsea in 2010
Manchester City have now also broken their own record tally of 89, set in 2011-12, and Guardiola could beat his previous best points tally in a single league season as a manager - 99, with Barcelona in 2009-10.
No team has accrued 100 points or more in a single top-flight campaign, but City would become the first that if they pick up 10 from their remaining four games.
Records Manchester City can still break
