Crystal Palace earned the win that mathematically secured their Premier League survival as they overcame already-relegated Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Eze then wasted a clear opportunity after creating space for himself inside the box by cutting inside John Egan, dragging his effort wide of the far post. Benteke, Andros Townsend and Jordan Ayew all saw goalbound efforts blocked as Palace pushed for the second goal. The second and decisive goal came two minutes from time courtesy of another wonderful solo run by Eze, although it was another deflected goal. The winger slipped away from John Lundstram midway inside his own half by the touchline and embarked on a driving run towards the Blades goal.
