This weekend, set pieces made all the difference, determining whether a team would play in the Champions League or miss out on the most prestigious club tournament entirely.

Cesc Fabregas has etched his name into Como history after guiding the club to a historic first-ever Champions League qualification on a dramatic final day in Serie A. While the lakeside club celebrated an unprecedented European adventure, Jamie Vardy and Cremonese were condemned to relegation following a clinical 4-1 defeat.

Cesc Fabregas has seen a return to Chelsea speculated on, after impressing as head coach at Como, but the World Cup winner may require a Premier League stepping stone before heading to Stamford Bridge and Clinton Morrison has told GOAL that “Crystal Palace could be that”. The Eagles, like the Blues, will find themselves in the market for a new manager this summer.

Dele Alli’s fall from grace remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in modern English football. Once the crown jewel of Tottenham’s midfield and a guaranteed starter for the Three Lions, the 30-year-old now finds himself in the wilderness of free agency after being released by Cesc Fabregas’ Como.
