Meanwhile, West Ham United's 14-year tenure in the Premier League came to a heartbreaking end. Despite a second-half goal from Valentin Castellanos and two more from Jarrod Bowen and Callum Wilson to make it 3-0, their victory was insufficient to prevent relegation. They will join Burnley and Wolves in the Championship next season.

The final day also witnessed significant managerial and player departures. Pep Guardiola managed his last game for Manchester City after a decade of unparalleled success, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League win. A large banner celebrating him as a "Game Changer" and "History Maker" was displayed by fans.

At Anfield, Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson played their final matches for Liverpool amidst a celebratory atmosphere. Despite Salah's recent comments about a desire for a return to "heavy metal football" under former manager Jurgen Klopp, he was included in the starting lineup by new boss Arne Slot. Banners in the crowd thanked the departing "legends."
