Liverpool clinched the title with a dominant performance under new manager Arne Slot, finishing with 84 points. Arsenal secured second place for the third consecutive year, while Manchester City and Chelsea rounded out the top four. Newcastle United claimed the final Champions League spot, edging out Aston Villa on goal difference.

 

Final Day Drama

Arsenal defeated Southampton 2-1, solidifying their second-place finish. Manchester City comfortably beat Fulham 2-0, while Chelsea secured a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Aston Villa's hopes for a top-five finish were dashed after a 2-0 loss to Manchester United, a match marred by controversial VAR decisions. Newcastle United, despite a 1-0 loss to Everton, secured fifth place due to Villa's defeat. Tottenham Hotspur, despite finishing 17th, qualified for the Champions League by winning the Europa League, marking their first trophy in 17 years.
