It wasn't the ideal performance to warm up for Tuesday's visit to the Camp Nou, and Solskjaer said as much afterwards.

"With a performance like this we all know we will struggle in Barcelona, and we will have to improve," said the coach.

Everton's hopes of finishing seventh and having the chance of playing in next season's Europa League suffered an unexpected setback as goals from Tom Cairney and Ryan Babbel saw them crash to a 2-0 defeat to Fulham.

The south London side are also condemned to return to the Championship, but showed spirit to give Scott Parker his first success as coach.

Burnley and Southampton cam probably start planning for another Premier League campaign after home wins over Cardiff and Wolves.

Two goals from Chris Wood gave Burnley a 2-0 win over Cardiff to lift them 11 points clear of the team who are still third bottom, while Southampton have an eight-point cushion over Cardiff after Nathan Redmond netted twice in a 3-1 victory at home to Wolves.

The final relegation spot now looks to be between Cardiff and Brighton after Brighton collapsed to a 5-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth.

Brighton were already 2-0 down to goals from Dan Gosling and Ryan Fraser before Aaron Knockhaert was sent off and following his red card Brooks, Callum Wilson and Junior Stanislaus added to their misery.

Friday saw Newcastle United win 1-0 away to Leicester City while Arsenal can return to the top four if they win away to Watford on Monday night.
