Sunday Recap
Hull will play in the EFL Championship next season after Crystal Palace guaranteed their relegation from the top flight.
Wilfried Zaha ran clear and slotted beyond goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic in just the third minute to open the floodgates, and Christian Benteke's header doubled the lead after 34 minutes.
Two late goals settled the result, with a penalty from Luka Milivojevic and a finish from substitute Patrick van Aanholt sealing the Tigers' fate.
Hull didn't register a shot on target during a miserable afternoon for manager Marco Silva's men, but the victory underlined Allardyce's skill set at the bottom end of the table.
The bottom three was confirmed by the result, with the Tigers joining Sunderland and Middlesbrough in relegation before the final set of fixtures.
Liverpool made it maximum points from their last four games away from home this season as they stride toward Champions League qualification.
The Hammers collapsed in front of a disgruntled London Stadium crowd, with the Reds turning on the style in the second half.
Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring after 35 minutes, but it was a quick-fire brace from Philippe Coutinho in the second half that buried the hosts.
Divock Origi grabbed a fourth after 75 minutes as West Ham's players collectively capitulated, well beaten in their final match of the season on home turf.
Bookmaker Coral suggested the passive Hammers were already on their summer holidays:
Sturridge was impressive during a rare appearance in the Reds starting XI—Sunday was just his sixth Premier League start of the campaign—and his performance will have helped his likely objective of increased playing time next season.
A victory for Liverpool in their final game against Middlesbrough at Anfield will guarantee them a spot in Europe's top competition next term.
Spurs fans celebrated at the Lane as they defeated United 2-1, as fans piled on the pitch at the full-time whistle.
Goals from Victor Wanyama and Harry Kane gave the hosts control, but a goal from Wayne Rooney made it an interesting finale.
United were nowhere near their best as they rotated their options ahead of the UEFA Europa League final against Ajax in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 24.
Spurs complete the season unbeaten at home in the Premier League, as the Lane closes its doors for the last time before it is demolished.
