Everton 4-2 Aston Villa
I hate this sort of game where we are absolutely dominant away from home but they score from all 4 of their shots on target and we get stuffed. Our 27r GK had a mare with only 3 saves whilst their guy made 10 despite being two stats lower. It is a result where I don't know what I could have done differently and, with the stats, we probably win it 7 out of 10 games - but wasn't to be here. Turns out our 13 game unbeaten league run was an unlucky one

Other results weren't favourable either with big wins for Bournemouth and Arsenal so it's looking tight at the top again. The GD situation means we can't realistically win it by being level on points so we need seven from our last three games to be sure.

The run in has made this an incredible end to the season with all the top five playing at least two other teams within it. Everton have to play three meaning they have the toughest run in - although they do have two of them at home. Bournemouth and Arsenal have two away games left which is a down side for them.
With us playing the Cherries in round 21, we both have it in our own hands and that is looking like being the critical game with the winner potentially taking the title. But everyone has a chance to kill of others chances.
We could win the title - we could finish as low as 5th - this has got interesting...
