Wow, what a season. 13 wins, 45 points, 11th place. Who could have imagined this? Pulis should be Manager of the Year. Unbelievable job.

Gayle. Two goals in 23 minutes after coming on as a sub.

Incredible result. Liverpool in serious trouble for their title challenge now. They lead by one point over City with the Manchester club having a game in hand.

Palace closes at already relegated Fulham on Sunday.
