Weekend grades: Phil Thompson offers his verdict on the weekend's Premier League action
Monday 15 May 2017 15:00, UK
Did your team live up to expectations this weekend in the Premier League?
We've asked former Liverpool and England defender Phil Thompson to give each side a grade based on their performance in the weekend's fixtures.
So, who finished top of the class? Did your team get an A+, an F, or something in between? Read on for the Sky Sports pundit's verdict...
Crystal Palace - A
A great display considering they only had 30 per cent possession, they took their chances and scored early and it was a pressure game.
Hull City - C
Defensively they were poor. They had loads of possession, but they did not have enough about them to break Palace down.
West Ham United - C
I was a bit disappointed with West Ham, whose fans I felt for a little bit as even in the first half they made very little attempt to take Liverpool on. It was their final home game and I thought they would make a better showing, so in that context I would have to give them a 'C'.
Liverpool - A+
It was an incredible performance because the players, in both the defence and the attack, were under immense pressure. Keep a clean sheet, try and score a goal and the first goal was so important to the side. It was like going back to the start of the season, so you would have to give an 'A+' given it was away from home and under immense pressure.

Tottenham Hotspur - A
Great game, fantastic atmosphere, they got the start they wanted after about six minutes with Victor Wanyama's goal and it was a very, very good performance from them and I will give them an 'A' because you have to try and play and keep the emotion of the day aside and I think they got that balance right.
Manchester United - B
Jose Mourinho has his injuries, so he is trying to protect those players, but I will give them a 'B' for this game as it was a difficult one with a different back four with Eric Bailly at right back and Daley Blind at left back, so I will give them a 'B' for this game.

Manchester City - B
Second half I thought they found it extremely difficult and they were fortunate with David Silva's goal, so I would have to give them a 'B' on the day.
Leicester City - B
A plucky display and in the second half they actually took the game to City and for that, I would have to give them a 'B' because overall, I thought they actually deserved to take something from the game.
Bournemouth - B+
They fully deserved to win this game, even though it looks a bit closer than it actually was.
Burnley - C+
They find it very difficult away from home, apart from their win at Palace the other week, although they have had a fine season and so a 'C+' for them.
Middlesbrough - C
I was a little bit disappointed in them with Southampton having little to play for and I was surprised they did not have just a little bit more of a go. I am pleased they got a goal back, just for the fans, which was good, but I would have to give them a 'C' on the day as it was just was not enough, as it has been all season.
Southampton - B
They scored a couple of brilliant goals through Jay Rodriguez and Nathan Redmond, who I was surprised was only a sub, but I would have to give them a 'B'.
Sunderland - D
It was a difficult game for them as they were already down, but given the way their season has gone, I would have to give them a 'D' - they got beaten at home and the showing on the day was not good enough for the fans.
Swansea City - A
They have done ever so well and because of the pressure they were under to get a result away from home, I am going to have to give them an 'A'.
Stoke City - C
Arsenal getting the first goal was important and I would have to give Stoke a 'C'.
Arsenal - A
Arsenal had given themselves a good chance of getting in the Premier League top four with this result, so with it being away from home, I would have to give them an 'A'.
Everton - B
Both sides had good chances in this game, although Everton could have scored a couple of goals, so I will give them a 'B'.
Watford - B
I actually think Watford performed a little bit better in this game than they had been of late - they made a good fist of the game and Stefano Okaka had a good few chances, so I will give them a 'B' too.

West Bromwich Albion - B
They have had a difficult end to the season, but they had a couple of good chances with Nacer Chadli and Salomon Rondon, nothing great, but at times they were playing with a back six, hanging in there and just looking to hit Chelsea on the counter. So I will be kind and give them a 'B' because they were playing against the champions.
Chelsea - A+
They find a way to get the results, and I am going to give them an 'A+' as they got there in the end.
