Arsenal lifted the Premier League crown, their first in 22 years, joining Manchester City and Manchester United in the top three and a guaranteed Champions League berth. Aston Villa’s 2‑1 win over City secured their spot, leaving the final slot between Liverpool and Bournemouth. Both clubs drew on the last day, letting Bournemouth finish fourth and claim the last Champions League place.

Sunderland became the tenth promoted side to reach Europe at the first attempt, jumping from tenth to seventh after a 2‑1 win over Chelsea and simultaneous defeats for Brighton and Brentford. Their ascent secured the second Europa League berth behind Bournemouth, who had already locked in sixth place. Crystal Palace will join them should they triumph over Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final.

Brighton clinched the sole Conference League place by finishing eighth, overtaking Chelsea after the Blues fell to tenth following a 2‑1 loss to Sunderland. Brentford’s point drop at Anfield also helped the Seagulls secure European football for the first time. They will enter the competition at the group stage, marking a historic continental campaign.
