Newcastle Grab the Last Spot
Newcastle didn’t win their last game. They lost 1-0 to Everton. But thanks to their better performance over the season and a strong goal difference, they still made it into the Champions League.
Both Newcastle and Aston Villa ended with 66 points. But goal difference played a big role:

Arsenal Finish Second with a Win
Arsenal, who finished in second place, ended their season with a 2-1 win over Southampton. They pushed hard all season but came just short of the title.
