Manchester City won the Premier League for the third time in a row as Arsenal struggled to defeat Nottingham Forest, who won 1-0 to ensure their place in the top division.
Brighton secured their place in Europe for the upcoming season with a victory over Southampton, while Manchester United made another push towards Champions League status.
Here, the PA news agency examines another exciting weekend of premier football.
Arsenal loses 1-0 to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, leading to celebrations for Manchester City, who are named the Premier League champions for a third straight year.
The Gunners had been in first place for 248 days and had an eight-point lead over City in March, but due to poor play, Pep Guardiola's team was able to use that advantage to win the league for the sixth time in six years with two games left.
Guardiola made nine changes for Sunday's visit from Chelsea because the league title had already been decided. Julian Alvarez's goal gave the treble-chasing team a simple 1-0 victory.

While Arsenal's loss made headlines, Forest's win over the Gunners was a significant source of relief since it guaranteed them top-flight football for another season.
With a decisive three points earned thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi's first-half goal, Forest can no longer be overtaken by Southampton.
Following an 11-game losing streak at the end of April, many thought Steve Cooper's team would return to the Championship for the remainder of the season. However, three victories in their final five games have guaranteed them another season in the Premier League.
Champions League playoff games
Manchester United made further progress toward a top-four finish in the ongoing fight for Champions League football. While Newcastle, who are equal with United on 69 points, play Leicester on Monday night, United gained a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth thanks to a spectacular overhead kick by Casemiro.
After Liverpool's draw at Aston Villa hurt the Anfield club's chances of finishing in the top four, both teams just need one point to qualify for the Champions League.
