Premier League 2024-25 GW38 Review
Bournemouth 2 - 0 Leicester
AFC Bournemouth wrapped up their Premier League season with a confident 2-0 victory over already-relegated Leicester City at the Vitality Stadium, thanks to a late brace from Antoine Semenyo. Leicester’s brightest moment came early when Oliver Skipp volleyed over, but they failed to register a single shot on target throughout the match. Semenyo opened the scoring in the 74th minute after latching onto a knockdown from Illia Zabarnyi, before firing home a second in the 88th minute following a pass from Dean Huijsen, who signed off in style ahead of his move to Real Madrid. The win secured Bournemouth a club-record ninth-place finish on 56 points, while Leicester ended a dismal campaign in 18th with just 25 points.
Fulham 0 - 2 Manchester City
Ipswich Town 1 - 3 West Ham
Jarrod Bowen delivered another stellar performance as West Ham ended their Premier League season with a 3-1 victory over already-relegated Ipswich Town at Portman Road. After a subdued first half, Bowen capitalised on a misplaced pass from Sam Morsy to set up James Ward-Prowse for the opener just before the break. Ipswich responded quickly through Nathan Broadhead’s low strike, but Bowen restored the Hammers’ lead minutes later with a powerful left-footed finish. Despite Ipswich’s efforts to salvage a result, Mohammed Kudus sealed the win late on with a sublime curling effort. The result sees West Ham finish 14th, while Ipswich end their first top-flight campaign in over two decades second-bottom with just 22 points.
Liverpool 1 - 1 Crystal Palace
Mohamed Salah’s late goal earned 10-man Liverpool a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace at Anfield, salvaging a point despite Ryan Gravenberch’s second-half red card. Palace took an early lead through Ismaila Sarr, but Salah’s 84th-minute strike—his 47th Premier League goal involvement of the season—equaled the all-time single-season record held by Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer. Though Liverpool’s title-winning campaign ended with a winless run, they celebrated their 20th league crown, while Palace secured 12th place and will compete in European football for the first time next season.
Manchester United 2 - 0 Aston Villa
Aston Villa missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification after Emiliano Martinez was sent off in a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United. Despite Martinez’s early heroics with several saves, his red card for fouling Rasmus Hojlund just before halftime left Villa vulnerable. United took control in the second half with Amad heading in Bruno Fernandes’ cross before Christian Eriksen sealed the win from the penalty spot in his final game for the club. Villa’s loss meant they finished sixth, narrowly missing the top five on goal difference despite Newcastle’s defeat. Manchester United, who ended the season 15th, showed flashes of promise under Ruben Amorim, though their overall campaign fell short of expectations after losing the Europa League final midweek.
Newcastle United 0 - 1 Everton
Newcastle United secured UEFA Champions League qualification despite a 1-0 home defeat to Everton on the final Premier League day, helped by Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa and Chelsea’s victory at Nottingham Forest. Carlos Alcaraz’s second-half header earned Everton the win at St James’ Park, but Newcastle clinched fifth place on goal difference ahead of Villa, joining Manchester City and Chelsea in next season’s Champions League.
Nottingham Forest 0 - 1 Chelsea
Chelsea secured UEFA Champions League qualification with a vital 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, thanks to Levi Colwill’s decisive second-half goal. Holding a narrow lead in the table, Chelsea knew victory would guarantee a top-five finish and end Forest’s hopes of Champions League football. Despite Forest’s strong start and missed chances from Chris Wood, Chelsea’s disciplined defense held firm, sealing fourth place—four points clear of Forest, who finished seventh and qualified for the UEFA Conference League. This win marks Chelsea’s return to Europe’s top competition for the first time since 2022/23 and sets them up for a potential trophy in the upcoming UEFA Conference League final.
Southampton 1 - 2 Arsenal
Martin Odegaard’s late 89th-minute strike secured a 2-1 win for Arsenal against Southampton, helping them finish second in the Premier League with 72 points. Kieran Tierney scored in his final Arsenal game before returning to Celtic, but Southampton equalized through Ross Stewart’s header. Arsenal dominated but struggled to break through until Odegaard’s stunning long-range goal sealed the victory. Southampton ended a tough season bottom with 30 losses and a new manager confirmed for next year.
Tottenham Hotspur 1 - 4 Brighton
Brighton & Hove Albion staged a thrilling 4-1 comeback win at Tottenham on the final day, powered by Jack Hinshelwood’s two goals, but missed out on UEFA Conference League qualification as Chelsea’s win sealed eighth place. Tottenham took an early lead through Dominic Solanke’s penalty, but Brighton’s second-half resurgence saw Hinshelwood equalize and then put them ahead, with Matt O’Riley adding a late penalty and Diego Gomez scoring a stunning finish to complete the turnaround. Despite Spurs’ Europa League triumph, their poor Premier League form continued, raising questions over manager Ange Postecoglou. Brighton’s strong finish offers optimism for another European challenge next season under Fabian Hurzeler.
Wolves 1 - 1 Brentford
Marc Cucurella’s 71st-minute header secured a vital 1-0 win for Chelsea over Manchester United, keeping their hopes of UEFA Champions League qualification alive and moving them up to fourth in the Premier League. Despite a disallowed goal for Harry Maguire and an overturned Chelsea penalty, the Blues found the breakthrough through Cucurella’s powerful finish from a Reece James cross. Chelsea, now level on points with Aston Villa and Newcastle, dominated much of the match but missed chances to extend their lead. Manchester United, struggling with form and winless in their last eight league games, couldn’t capitalize on their few chances and remain 16th. Chelsea now look ahead to a crucial final league game at Nottingham Forest and a European final against Real Betis, while United prepare for their Europa League final against Spurs.
