Overall it was another very disappointing season, with the North Londoners finishing 17th for the second year in a row&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>West Ham ended up beating Leeds fairly easily, but needed either an Everton win or a crazy swing in goal difference to ensure survival, and are now preparing for life in the Championship.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bruno_Fernandes_sets_new_assist_record\"><\/span>Bruno Fernandes sets new assist record<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Manchester United did not have much to play on the final day as they had already qualified for the Champions League and secured third place in the table.<\/p>\n<p>However, history was made as Bruno Fernandes recorded his 21st assist of the season, breaking the Premier League record previously held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a great season for Fernandes. Fernandes has once again fully established himself as Man United&#8217;s most important player and, in fact, is probably the best player in England&#8217;s top flight at the moment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_win_again_before_lifting_the_trophy\"><\/span>Arsenal win again before lifting the trophy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal went into this game knowing they were champions, but they picked up another three points with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n<p>The Gunners rested many of their starting eleven in preparation for the Champions League final, but Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring and Noni Madueke added the second.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back for Palace, but the result gave Arsenal a final point of 85 points, ahead of last year&#8217;s league champions Liverpool, who had 84 points.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Want more catchoffside coverage?
