Man City set to finish fourth after draw against Swansea

Manchester City are all but assured of a place in next season's Champions League as Manuel Pellegrini's time at the club ended with a draw at Swansea.

They were denied a win as Andre Ayew's deflected free-kick cancelled out Kelechi Iheanacho's close-range opener.

The draw leaves them three points ahead of Manchester United, whose final game, against Bournemouth, was abandoned.

City's vastly superior goal difference means United would need a 19-0 win over the Cherries to take fourth place.
