Premier League season in numbers

Crystal Palace host West Brom with both teams hoping to end their seasons on a high.

Palace could equal their highest-ever Premier League finish if results go their way which after the start they made would be nothing short of remarkable.

The die is already cast for the Baggies who will drop down to the Championship this weekend, but with Darren Moore at the helm have some positives to cling to.

The Bournemouth winner came in the 90th minute, with Jermain Defoe breaking free and squaring for Callum Wilson who slid the ball under Nick Pope to win the game 2-1.

So what do those results mean:

- Manchester City finish top with 100 points, the first ever Premier League side to reach that mark.

- Tottenham Hotspur win a crazy game of football 5-4 to finish third behind Manchester United in second.

- Liverpool's 4-0 win ensured Jurgen Klopp's side would finish fourth.

- Chelsea's 3-0 loss to Newcastle leaves them in fifth. Arsene Wenger was victorious in his final Arsenal game and his side finish sixth. Burnley take the final Europa League spot in seventh.

- Everton finish eighth, two points ahead of Leicester in ninth, although both sides could sack their managers tonight.

- Rafa Benitez takes Newcastle to tenth, Crystal Palace finish eleventh and Bournemouth in twelfth, all on 44 points. West Ham, Watford, Brighton, Huddersfield and Southampton stay up.

- Swansea's loss to Stoke confirms their relegation. Their opponents and last-placed West Brom will join them in the Championship next season.

​- Mohamed Salah wins the Golden Boot with 32 goals this season, ahead of Harry Kane on 30.

- Kevin De Bruyne is the 'Playmaker of the Year' with 16 assists. His late pass for Gabriel Jesus' winner took him ahead of teammate Leroy Sane to win the award outright.

- David De Gea wins the Golden Glove for the first time with 18 clean sheets.

And that is that. The Premier League season is over. It has featured the greatest Premier League side ever in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, who have changed the way the rest of the league plays football and scored more, won more and accumulated more points than any other team in the history of the league. 

Twelve sides found themselves in a relegation battle at one time or another; nine of them changed their manager. All three newly-promoted sides retained their place in the division for next season, despite all being written off at various points since the beginning of the season. 

What a job Sean Dyche has done: Burnley will play Europa League football next year. As will Chelsea and Arsenal - it will be the first time since the 1996-97 season that neither club will feature in the Champions League. It is adieu to Arsene Wenger, who leaves Arsenal after his worst ever season as manager, and Spurs have finished as the top London club for the first time since 1995.

It is over, but do not fear. The World Cup in Russia is only a month away, the playoffs are in full swing and the F.A. Cup and Champions League Finals are to come in the next two weeks. There is a shortened transfer window, too. And in less than three months, the Premier League begins all over again.

But to bring this Premier League season to a close, I have been Harry Latham-Coyle for The Independent - thank you for reading.
