Manchester City entered the final stretch controlling their own destiny with a game in hand over Liverpool, but they couldn’t capitalize. On May 20, City were held to a 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth, a result that handed the Reds the advantage — and ultimately the Premier League title for a second consecutive season. City settled for second place, while Newcastle United claimed third.

Tottenham Hotspur rounded out the top four, earning the final automatic Champions League berth. Meanwhile, Arsenal, last season’s runner-up, failed to keep pace and finished outside the qualification positions.
