On a dramatic final day of the Premier League, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United secured their spots in next season's Champions League.
Final-day defeats for Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest will see them play in the Europa League and Conference League, respectively, next season.
City went into their clash with Fulham needing just a point to secure Champions League qualification, and Ilkay Gündogan's sensational overhead kick in the 21st minute was all they needed in a 2-0 win that settled any lingering fears of a first season without a Champions League appearance since 2009. Erling Haaland's late penalty saw them lock down third place in style.
Enzo Maresca secured Champions League qualification in his first season in charge at Chelsea after a 1-0 win over fellow contenders Nottingham Forest. It was a disappointing end to a dream campaign for Forest, who finished in seventh after spending a majority of the season in the Champions League places.
The final Champions League spot was secured by Newcastle, who returned to Europe's elite despite a 1-0 home loss to Everton, courtesy of Aston Villa's 2-0 loss at Manchester United.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez's red card at the stroke of halftime had left Villa with an uphill task. The Birmingham-based side appeared to be in position to take fifth when Carlos Alcaraz put Everton ahead at St. James' Park and Villa's Morgan Rogers put the ball in the back of the net.
However, Rogers' goal was controversially disallowed, and moments later, Amad Diallo scored to put United ahead. Christian Eriksen's late penalty confirmed their fate.
Liverpool and Arsenal had already been confirmed as the top two in the Premier League going into the final day. Champions Liverpool drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace on the day of their title coronation, while Martin Ødegaard's 89th-minute winner saw Arsenal wrap up their season with a win.
