United finished third after a nervy 2-0 win in a Champions League shoot-out against Leicester, while Chelsea ended in fourth spot after beating Wolves 2-0 thanks to two goals on the stroke of halftime. Frank Lampard’s Chelsea required just a draw to seal Champions League qualification for next term and two goals in first-half stoppage time gave them breathing space.
Jesse Lingard scored late to seal the win. The result is a huge lift for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose team slipped well off the pace earlier this season, but is a bitter blow for Brendan Rodgers’s Leicester, who have been camped in the top four for almost the whole campaign.
