In-depth tactical analysis of the biggest games. We go beyond the scoreline to show you what really happened.
Featured United were imperious at the Amex in their most complete performance of the season — dominant in shape, ruthless in transition, and clinical in front of goal. Brighton still secured European football through results elsewhere, but this was a statement from Michael Carrick's side about what third place in the Premier League actually looks like.
The scoreline flatters Burnley and punishes Wolves in equal measure. Rob Edwards' side were the better team across almost the entire 90 minutes, creating four big chances to Burnley's two and generating well over twice…
Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions at Selhurst Park, and the scoreline barely captured their dominance. Four points clear of City after 38 games, ending a 21-year wait for the title, Arteta's side pressed and controlled Palace from the first whistle — this was the coronation, not the contest.
Fulham controlled every phase of a match Newcastle barely showed up for. Both clubs ended the season level on 49 points, but the gulf in intent and execution at Craven Cottage was significant — Fulham's two goals were routine, and Jiménez's farewell-season performance bookended a campaign of consistent, underappreciated quality.
Liverpool dominated, Brentford's on-loan goalkeeper frustrated them, and a farewell day at Anfield ended without the win it deserved. Sitting fifth with Champions League qualification still mathematically open, Liverpool created enough to win comfortably but were denied repeatedly — the draw leaving their European fate dependent on results elsewhere.
The story of this match was written in its final seconds, but the real story was the 94 minutes that preceded them. Bournemouth were the more threatening side throughout and deserved to win — until Haaland arrived at the far post to deny them a famous victory and keep City's faint title hopes mathematically alive.
Chelsea held on to win a match Tottenham largely controlled but could not finish. The xG told the same story — Spurs created more, Chelsea converted better — and a narrow result shaped both clubs' final-day scenarios, with Tottenham's failure to close out a game they dominated proving costly.
