Liverpool are on the brink of qualifying for the Champions League after Philippe Coutinho inspired a 4-0 rout of West Ham United, while Tottenham Hotspur said a fitting farewell to White Hart Lane with a 2-1 win against Manchester United on Sunday.
In contrast to Liverpool's jubilation and Tottenham's celebratory send-off, there was only misery for Hull City as they were relegated after a 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace.
It was a day of high emotion as the Premier League's remaining issues at the top and bottom were played out in dramatic fashion.
At the London Stadium, Liverpool took the lead when Coutinho's sublime pass was converted by Daniel Sturridge early in the first half.
Coutinho stole the spotlight again in the second half with a superb solo strike and a cool finish to put Jurgen Klopp's side three goals ahead before Divock Origi netted to cap the Reds' swaggering display.

Although City and fifth placed Arsenal both have a game in hand, Klopp's men will be guaranteed a Champions League berth if they beat relegated Middlesbrough at Anfield next Sunday.
In the unlikely event Arsenal lose at home to relegated Sunderland tomorrow then Liverpool will clinch a top four spot without playing.
Playing their last game at White Hart Lane after 118 years, second placed Tottenham responded to the end of their title dream by stylishly bringing down the curtain on 118 years at the famous north London stadium.
Chelsea were crowned champion after their win at West Bromwich Albion on Friday, but Tottenham had the ideal occasion to forget that frustration as they prepare to temporarily play at Wembley while the Lane is demolished to make way for a new arena.
With numerous Tottenham legends watching from the stands, Kenya midfielder Victor Wanyama put the host ahead in the sixth minute.
Harry Kane doubled Tottenham's lead in the 48th minute with his 28th goal of the season.

With the Europa League final against Ajax Amsterdam looming, United manager Jose Mourinho was relieved to avoid any more fitness problems.
Down in south London, Hull knew only a victory would give them a realistic chance of staying up, but goals from Wilfried Zaha, Christian Benteke, Luka Milivojevic and Patrick van Aanholt consigned them to the drop.
Third-bottom Hull, winner just once in their last six matches, return to the Championship 12 months after their promotion via the play-offs.
They paid the price for a chaotic campaign marred by poor signings and boardroom turmoil.
Marco Silva was unable to save them despite improved performances following his January appointment.
Palace had needed a point to stay up and their dominant display completed boss Sam Allardyce's latest survival mission after he rescued Sunderland last season.
