Manchester United also ended the season on a high note. The 'Red Devils' played away against Brighton and secured a convincing 3-0 victory. This result allowed the Mancunians to finish 3rd with 71 points.
For United, this result could be a vital source of confidence ahead of next season. Despite facing various challenges throughout the campaign, the team secured a spot in the top three, proving they are a club capable of competing for high honors again.
Thus, the top of the Premier League season concluded as follows: Arsenal champions with 85 points, Manchester City second with 78 points, and Manchester United third with 71 points.
