From Graham Hill at Molineux
This was such a frustrating game for Ange Postecoglou as a series of defensive mistakes allowed Wolves to record a comprehensive win that all but seals their Premier League status for next season.
Djed Spence, Christian Romero and Lucas Bergvall were all at fault as Wolves recorded a commanding fourth successive win.
Spurs gave themselves a chance with goals from Mathys Tel and sub Richarlison. But they pressed the self-destruct button time and again.
And at the bottom
The bottom three remain doomed, it’ll be a matter of time before that is confirmed.
West Ham overtaken by Wolves on goal difference in 16th and 17th – and now just two points behind Spurs!
How it leaves things
A damaging result for Chelsea who do remain fifth but Newcastle have two games in hand and are just a point behind.
Liverpool moving 13 points clear and now cruising to title success!
FULL TIME! Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
Some late, late drama but the Reds go 13 points clear thanks to Luis Diaz and Virgil van Dijk goals.
They’re so, so close to the title now.
FULL TIME! Chelsea 2-2 Ipswich
The Blues battle back from two goals down but it’s a really poor performance and result in the chase for the Champions League.
90+5 – CLOSE! Chelsea 2-2 Ipswich
WHAT A SAVE FROM PALMER!
Enzo Fernandes thrashing the ball towards goal as the ball rolled through to him in the box but his effort from eight yards is kept out by a strong Palmer arm.
He went down starfish style to push it behind.
90+3 – CLOSE! Chelsea 2-2 Ipswich
Palmer collects the ball on the edge of the box and looks to place it into the bottom corner but his namesake gets down to tip it wide!
Chelsea putting on the pressure in the final few minutes!
FT: Wolves 4-2 Tottenham
Another defeat for Ange Postecoglou and Spurs.
A couple of shockers from his goalkeeper and Romero in there didn’t do much to help things.
Wolves moving further away from danger at the bottom!
90+4 – Liverpool 2-1 West Ham
CLOSE – OFF THE BAR!
Kilman’s delivery from the left is helped towards goal by Fullkrug and it’s beaten Alisson but comes back off the bar!

Six minutes additional time!
90 – GOAL!! LIVERPOOL 2-1 West Ham
Would you believe it!? The soon-to-be champions have won it at the death!
And it might well have been his fault for the equaliser but VIRGIL VAN DIJK heads it home!
And if you’re Graham Potter you have to be raging with Lucas Paqueta. He once again throws himself to ground under no challenge at all trying to buy a free kick and Andy Madley does well to see through the nonsense and wave play on.
From a Liverpool corner, Van Dijk heads home from eight yards out.
86 – GOAL!! WOLVES 4-2 Tottenham
Oh Spurs, Spurs, Spurs!!
MATHEUS CUNHA with the goal to settle this one again!
85 – GOAL!! Wolves 3-2 TOTTENHAM
Spurs back in it again!
RICHARLISON with the goal!
86 – GOAL!! Liverpool 1-1 WEST HAM
It had been coming and West Ham have their equaliser.
It’s an ANDY ROBERTSON own goal!
He’s absolutely RAGING with Virgil van Dijk for not clearing it, instead getting in the way to see Robertson help it into his own net.
And a minute or so after replacing Mo Salah!
83 – Chelsea 2-2 Ipswich
So, so good from Delap to collect the ball on halfway.
He’s toying with the Chelsea defenders as he skips by two of them into the Blues’ half before winning the corner.
79 – GOAL!! CHELSEA 2-2 Ipswich
Fabulous finish from JADON SANCHO brings Chelsea level!
He replaced Noni Madueke to boos from the Chelsea supporters.
But in a game of little quality from the home side, this finish was a piece of that.
The corner they’d won is taken short and Sancho makes a dart heading towards the corner of the area before opening his body up and bending a terrific strike into the far top corner.
The Blues racing to the halfway line, they know a winner is needed!
From Graham Hill at Molineux
Spurs are in a giveaway mood this afternoon – and Postecoglou must be so frustrated.
Tottenham had put themselves back in the game after an hour.Sub Lucas Bergvall came on and made an immediate impact, he fed Brennan Johnson on the right and his cross was misjudged by Nelson Semedo – Mathys Tel took advantage to smuggle the ball home at the near post.
But, five minutes later, Spurs threw away the advantage with another defensive howler.
Ait-Nouri robbed skipper Christian Romero who failed to deal with the situation when he appeared to have it covered. Ait-Nouri then crossed for Strand Larsen and he scored his 12th goal of the season from close range – making it five goals in four games for the Norwegian.
Spurs Fact: In Mauricio Pochettino’s best three seasons – 2015-16, 16-17 and 17-18, Spurs lost 17 games, which is currently the same number as this season under Postecoglou.
77 – Chelsea 1-2 Ipswich
Enzo Fernandez gathers the ball in the centre circle and drives to within 25 yards of goal.
His shot is low and on target, but it’s a pretty poor attempt which rolls into Palmer’s arms.
75 – Chelsea 1-2 Ipswich
Pedro Neto had a half volley strike fly wide of goal from the edge of the box.
His reaction and that of the supporters suggested it was close.
It wasn’t really. A good couple of yards wide anyway.
As it stands
Liverpool will be moving 13 points clear at the top of the table.
Arsenal have just 18 points more to play for, highlighting the huge task on their hands.
It also rules out Nottingham Forest for the title, meaning only Liverpool, Arsenal or Newcastle can win it as things stand.

He’s not 100% fit but Liam Delap has been thrown on for the final 20 minutes to help Ipswich get over the line here.
He replaces George Hirst who had a very good afternoon.
72 – Liverpool 1-0 West Ham
Liverpool just have to be a bit careful here, West Ham are really pushing for an equaliser.
In fact, were it not for the returning Alisson they’d almost certainly have one.
The latest save coming from a Kudus attempt from a tight angle. Really good stuff from the stopper.
