The EPL final day 2026 delivered everything Singapore fans stayed up past midnight for — title-winning tears at Selhurst Park, two of Anfield’s all-time greats waving goodbye, and Pep Guardiola’s last bow at the Etihad. All 10 matches kicked off simultaneously at 22:00 SGT on Sunday, 24 May 2026, and shiok is not a strong enough word for the drama that followed.
If you were running on five hours of sleep on Monday morning, you were not alone. The 2025/26 Premier League season closed with Arsenal crowned for the fourth time in their history, West Ham sliding into the Championship, and Bruno Fernandes rewriting the assists record book. Here is your complete EPL final day 2026 review, served with all the must-know moments and a little bit of FOMO if you missed any of it.
Arsenal Lift The Trophy At Selhurst Park
Arsenal had already locked the title up midweek, so the trip to Crystal Palace was a victory parade dressed up as a fixture. Mikel Arteta’s men walked out to a guard of honour from the home side and quickly settled the match itself with a 2-1 win.
Gabriel Jesus broke the deadlock late in the first half before Noni Madueke doubled the lead shortly after the restart. Jean-Philippe Mateta’s late header gave Palace a consolation, but the script was already written. Martin Odegaard lifted the Premier League trophy as Arsenal ended a 22-year wait for the title.
Salah And Robertson Say Goodbye At Anfield
If you have a soft spot for Liverpool, this one hit hard. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson started their final game in red and Anfield turned into a love letter for two players who gave the club nearly a decade of memories.
Liverpool drew 1-1 with Brentford to seal Champions League football for next season. Curtis Jones tucked away the opener in the 58th minute from a Salah assist — a record-extending one that took the Egyptian past Steven Gerrard for the most Premier League assists in Liverpool’s history. Kevin Schade levelled for Brentford in the 64th minute, and Salah’s late free kick rattled the post before both players were withdrawn to a standing ovation that left even the away fans clapping.
Pep Guardiola’s Final Bow At The Etihad
Manchester City wanted to send Pep Guardiola off with a win and a banner reading “Game changer. History maker. City forever.” Aston Villa had other ideas.
Antoine Semenyo gave City the lead in the 23rd minute, but Ollie Watkins flipped the match on its head with an equaliser in the 47th minute and a second goal in the 61st. The 1-2 defeat sealed City’s second-place finish on 78 points and ended Guardiola’s 10-year, 20-trophy reign with a sting. Villa snuck into fourth place and the Champions League with 65 points.
Spurs Survive, West Ham Sink
The relegation drama played out simultaneously at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the London Stadium. Tottenham knew a win or draw against Everton would guarantee survival no matter what happened to West Ham.
Joao Palhinha settled it in the 43rd minute, heading against the post and reacting first to scuff the rebound over the line before Thierno Barry could clear. Antonin Kinsky pulled off a flying stoppage-time save to deny a late Everton effort. Across town, West Ham smashed Leeds 3-0 but it counted for nothing — the Hammers dropped into the EFL Championship after 13 unbroken years in the top flight.
Bruno Fernandes Rewrites The Record Book
Manchester United rolled into the Amex Stadium and rolled out with a 3-0 win, but the night belonged to Bruno Fernandes. The captain’s corner picked out Patrick Dorgu for a 33rd-minute header, and that single assist sent the Portuguese into Premier League folklore.
That was Fernandes’ 21st assist of the season, breaking the previous outright record of 20 that he had shared with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Bryan Mbeumo doubled the lead before Fernandes himself drilled in a low third in the 48th minute. Not bad for a player Old Trafford was ready to write off two seasons ago.
