Premier League Odds: Joy For Aston Villa as Watford and Bournemouth are Relegated on the Final Day
The Premier League season finally came to an end yesterday. Even though Liverpool had wrapped up the title some time ago, there was plenty to play for at either end of the Premier League table.
Chelsea and Manchester United secured Champions League football at the expense of Leicester City. Frank Lampard’s Chelsea defeated Wolves 2-0 at home to ensure they finished in the top four, and Manchester United secured victory over Leicester to ensure they were back in the Champions League.
It was all to play for at the bottom of the table, three different teams could be relegated at the start of the day. Despite Bournemouth’s best efforts against Everton, Aston Villa’s point away at West Ham ensured they would be playing Premier League football next season.
The table below shows all the Premier League results from the weekend, and also the odds for the correct score of each game. As you’ll see the most unlikely result was at Arsenal. Watford needed a win to avoid relegation, but found themselves 3-0 down very early on, despite clawing two goals back it wasn’t good enough to avoid the drop. Arsenal to win 3-2 was a massive +2200 with one bookmaker, but other online sportsbooks had the correct score at +1800.
Southampton’s 3-1 win against Sheffield United also came as a shock to the bookmakers. The correct score was priced up at +1800 with one online sportsbook, but another bookmaker had the scoreline at +1400
