MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester United and Chelsea secured places in the Champions League with wins on the final day of the Premier League season while Watford and Bournemouth were relegated along with bottom club Norwich City.

Aston Villa survived the drop thanks to a 1-1 draw at West Ham United which moved them to 35 points, one more than Bournemouth, who go down despite a 3-1 win at Everton, and Watford who lost 3-2 at Arsenal.

Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur, who drew 1-1 at Crystal Palace, are also in the Europa League after finishing sixth. Fernandes, who was central to United's rise in the second half of the season, put United ahead in the 71st minute after Anthony Martial was brought down in the box.The win was wrapped up when substitute Lingard robbed Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel on the edge of the area and slotted into the unguarded goal.

Chelsea also needed just a point at Stamford Bridge to guarantee a place in Europe's top club competition and a wonderful free kick from Mount and confident finish from Giroud put them two goals up by the break -- a lead Wolves never threatened to damage. "It is heartbreaking for the people who work behind the scenes and we feel sorry for them. As a club and as a community we will go again. Ultimately we have not been good enough, there is no point dancing around it," he added."I'm pleased, proud and every adjective to go with it. A lot of people had us relegated but we have worked so hard," said Smith.
