Comments:

Final league position 2025-26: 15th . This game was played three days before Crystal Palace faced Rayo Vallecano in the Final of the UEFA Conference League: their first-ever Final in a major European competition. . This the first time that Palace had lost their final game of a season in the top division when it had been played at Selhurst Park (played 13, won eight). . Jean-Philippe Mateta had now become the second player to score 50 or more goals for the Eagles in the Premier League: previously Wilfried Zaha (68).

Final league position 2025-26: 1st . Arsenal were confirmed as this season’s Premier League champions five days earlier when Manchester City failed to win at AFC Bournemouth. The trophy was presented to them immediately after this game. . The Gunners failed in their attempt to win and keep a clean sheet in 18 games in a season in the Premier League for the first time: previously 17 in 2023-24. . Aged 16 years and 144 days, Max Dowman had now become the youngest-ever player to start a game in the Premier League: previously Jose Baxter of Everton against West Bromwich Albion on 23 August 2008 (16 years and 198 days).
