West Ham were relegated from the Premier League after surrendering a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at fellow strugglers Wigan.

The Hammers needed to win at the DW Stadium to stand any chance of beating the drop and were 2-0 up at half-time courtesy of Demba Ba's headers on 12 and 26 minutes.

But the Latics stormed back after the break. Charles N'Zogbia scored either side of a Conor Sammon strike, leaving Roberto Martinez's side in the bottom three on goal difference alone and sending the visitors down.

Wigan are now level on points with Blackpool and Birmingham, who lost 2-0 at home to Fulham.

Brede Hangeland got both goals for the Cottagers to leave the Blues facing a tricky trip to Tottenham on the final day of the season.

Tottenham leapfrogged Liverpool to move into a Europa League spot with a 2-0 win at Anfield.

Rafael van der Vaart's volley had given Harry Redknapp's side an early lead and Luka Modric converted a penalty to seal the win.

Arsenal's frustrating end to the season continued as Aston Villa ran out 2-1 winners at Emirates Stadium after an early brace from Darren Bent.

Bent struck twice within the first 15 minutes to leave the Gunners, for whom Robin van Persie got a late consolation, in real danger of seeing FA Cup winners Manchester City overtake them in the race for automatic Champions League qualification after a third defeat in four games.

Arsenal's defeat means Chelsea are confirmed in second place despite Steven Taylor's late header earning Newcastle a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in the day's early kick-off.

Branislav Ivanovic gave the Blues a second minute lead but Jonas Gutierrez quickly equalised.

Alex's header looked to have won it with seven minutes to go for Carlo Ancelotti's side, but Taylor's effort earned the Magpies a point.
