Eberechi Eze returned to Selhurst Park as a Premier League champion, greeted with a guard of honour before the Crystal Palace fixture. The former Arsenal hero scored the winning goal in last season’s FA Cup final and now re‑joins his old club after a title‑winning campaign.

West Ham’s survival hopes hinge on Taty Castellanos, whose 26‑minute spell against Newcastle saw him score a dramatic goal over Nick Pope. His five shots this season rank among the league’s best, yet the back‑three experiment abandoned him early and left the Hammers two goals down in that match night.

James Maddison’s return from injury proved decisive in Spurs’ fight against relegation. After coming on in the 69th minute, he logged 28 touches, 23 passes and more forward passes than Conor Gallagher in 90 minutes, reminding fans of the creative spark missing at White Hart Lane this season again today.

Bournemouth secured their first European spot in 127 years after a 1‑1 draw with Manchester City, extending Arsenal’s unbeaten run to 17 games. Headed to Nottingham Forest, the Cherries now hold the club’s highest finish ever, while manager Andoni Iraola prepares to leave as a legend for the next season.
