Football results: Stunning destruction in England
European football this weekend witnessed the continuous scene of "big fish swallowing small fish" in round 31 of the Premier League.

| Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick to help Liverpool crush Cardiff. |
Right after Chelsea's resounding 6-0 victory, Liverpool also had a 6-3 victory over Cardiff to maintain their 2nd place in the Premier League standings with 45 points, 4 points less than Chelsea but having played 1 less match.
In this match, Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez continued to assert his position as number 1 in the race for the Golden Boot, when he scored a hat-trick.
Like Suarez, Yaya Toure also had a hat-trick to help Man City win 5-0 against Fulham. Man City climbed to third place with 63 points, 6 points less than Chelsea but still have 3 games left to play. If they play enough and win all, Manuel Pellegrini's army will be the most promising candidate for the championship.
In the late match of round 31, Manchester United won 2-0 against West Ham thanks to a double from Wayne Rooney. After this match, the Red Devils had 51 points and were only 11 points behind the top 4.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern still cannot win the championship 8 rounds early despite a 2-0 victory at Mainz, because in the same match Dortmund defeated Hannover 96 3-0.
