Bournemouth and Tottenham met in a bad-tempered Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon.

Mauricio Pochettino's side could have guaranteed Champions League football with a win this afternoon but debutant goalkeeper Mark Travers and red cards for Son Heung-min and Juan Foyth left them with an uphill battle.

And Nathan Ake headed what proved to be the winner in injury time as the Cherries finished their season at home with a win and leave Spurs with work to do to secure a top four spot.

Bournemouth vs Spurs

A lack of discipline cost Spurs the three points. They were dominant in the first half and were only denied a goal due to some outstanding saves from Mark Travers. 

Son lost the plot and Foyth made a really bad challenge. Bournemouth weren't great themselves though and a moment of brilliance from Nathan Ake gave them the late win. 

Tottenham will have to beat Everton next week now to make the top four.

For Wolves and West Ham, they are playing for League position. Wolves have had a great season and could confirm seventh place for themselves with a win over Fulham. 

West Ham and Southampton are basically playing an exhibition match.

Later on though is a huge game between Cardiff and Crystal Palace.

Cardiff are four points from safety, behind Brighton, and have to win both of their last two games to stay up.  

First they need three points against Palace today before seeing off Manchester United on the last day of the season.

For Brighton they face Arsenal and Manchester City where points will be hard to come by.

Then in the late kick off, Newcastle host Liverpool.

The Premier League title could be sown up as soon as Monday if the Reds fail to beat Newcastle tonight and Man City defeat Leicester.

Rafa Benitez's team stand in Liverpool's way and in what could be Benitez's last game in charge at St James' Park, Newcastle will prove to be a difficult obstacle to overcome for Jurgen Klopp's men.

Factor in the fact that Liverpool have a mountain to climb on Tuesday as they try to overcome a three-goal deficit to Barcelona in the Champions League.

Wolves 0 - 0 Fulham

Joe Bryan has the first chance for Fulham, he's 22-yards out from goal and he fires off a shot that comes too close to Rui Patrício who makes the save.

West Ham 0 - 0 Southampton

West Ham have a lot of possession but don't do anything with it, they're finding it hard to get past the halfway line in a rather slow start to the match.

West Ham 0 - 0 Southampton

That's more like it.

Southampton counter with Ings as he finds Armstrong inside the box to the right. He's seven or eight yards out, comes across the ball hits it well and flicks the crossbar. 

Good chance for the Saints.

Wolves 0 - 0 Fulham

Jota drives into the box and pushes the ball past Christie before hitting the deck. Referee John Moss pulls out a yellow card and books Jota for diving.
