Bournemouth 1-1 Aston Villa
This turned out to be a massive result for us. We took the lead early in the game but they equalised and we definitely didn't deserve the win. But, with Arsenal drawing this result leaves it very much under our control - although still four teams can take it:

Liverpool - Arsenal
Everton - Bournemouth
Aston Villa - Derby_County
Liverpool beating Everton in round 21 means they can't win the league but they can still have a huge say in the outcome as they face Bournemouth at home. 4th host 3rd as well as Liverpool play Arsenal
We play Derby at home - who themselves are in a relegation scrap. If we win that we retain the title. A draw should be enough if Bournemouth lose as I can's see Arsenal or Liverpool winning by enough to overturn the GD situation.
So a home game with it all in our hands to end the season - we couldn't ask for much better in this scenario. Fingers crossed we can get the job done
