Arsenal wrapped up their historic Premier League title triumph in style, defeating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park on the final day of the season to finish on 85 points — seven clear of Manchester City.

The Gunners had already been confirmed as champions on Tuesday, following Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth, ending a 22-year wait for the top-flight crown. Sunday's win was the perfect send-off for a remarkable campaign.

Dowman makes history on the day

Manager Mikel Arteta named a heavily rotated side, making nine changes with one eye on an upcoming European final. Among the starters was 16-year-old Max Dowman, who became the youngest player ever to start a Premier League match at just 16 years and 144 days old.

Dowman made an immediate impression, flicking the ball on first time to allow Gabriel Martinelli to set up Gabriel Jesus, who finished crisply at Dean Henderson's near post to give Arsenal the lead.

Madueke doubles the advantage

Arsenal's second goal extended a remarkable corner-taking record — their 19th goal of the season from a set piece of that kind. Substitute Kai Havertz headed a corner back across goal, and Noni Madueke volleyed home through a packed penalty area to double the advantage.

Crystal Palace hit back when Jean-Philippe Mateta converted, with Yeremy Pino providing the assist moments before firing what appeared to be an equaliser. However, Pino's goal was ruled out for offside against Evann Guessand, ending Palace's hopes of a share of the spoils.

A historic season concluded

Arsenal held firm to complete the victory, sending their travelling supporters into further celebrations. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner had also rotated his squad, with both clubs preparing for upcoming European finals.

Manchester City's season ended in defeat, with Aston Villa beating them in what was Pep Guardiola's final match in charge. Arsenal's dominance across the campaign was underlined by that seven-point gap at the summit come the final whistle.
