Brighton thrashed Manchester United 4-0 at the Amex Stadium to ensure the visitors will finish the season with their worst points total in the Premier League era.
The humiliating loss on the south coast means Ralf Rangnick’s side can no longer match the 64 points they achieved in the 2013/14 campaign as Manchester United recorded a new all-time low under the German’s regin.
A Moises Caicedo strike early in the first half (15) was added to after the break by goals from Marc Cucurella (49), Pascal Gross (57) and Leandro Trossard (60) as Brighton, who had not won at home since Boxing Day, remain on course for their highest top-flight finish.
In the other fixture, Tottenham punched a huge hole in Liverpool’s Premier League – and quadruple hopes, following a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Saturday.
Luis Diaz’s deflected strike cancelled out Son Heung-Min’s opener.
Despite gaining more possession of the ball, Jurgen Klopp’s side couldn’t find a desperately sought winner late on.
The result takes Liverpool level on points with Manchester City and above them on goal difference at the top of the Premier League but City now have a game in hand, at home to Newcastle United on Sunday.
