West Ham beat Leeds 3-0 but that wasn't enough to climb out of the relegation zone because fourth-to-last Tottenham also won, 1-0 at home to Everton, to stay two points clear of its London rival. That meant West Ham's 14-year stay in the Premier League was over and Tottenham will be in the top division for a 49th straight season. Guardiola's decade-long tenure at Manchester City --- which has included six Premier League titles --- ended with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa that featured a mid-match guard of honor for first Bernardo Silva and then John Stones, two of Guardiola's stalwarts. Salah was given a standing ovation --- before he kissed the Anfield turf --- during his second-half substitution in his 442nd and last game for Liverpool, in which he grabbed an assist in a 1-1 draw with Brentford. The Egypt winger finished his nine years with the Reds with 257 goals. Arsenal has already clinched the title and closed its first championship-winning campaign since 2004 with a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace ___ Steve Douglas is at https://twitter.com/sdouglas80 ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
