Champions Manchester City finished the season on a record 100 points after Gabriel Jesus scored with almost the final touch against Southampton, who secured Premier League survival despite losing.
Southampton needed a point to make sure of safety but Swansea’s 2-1 home defeat by Stoke means Saints will play in the top flight for a seventh successive season.
A stunning season that started with a 2-0 win at Brighton on 12 August, ended with a last-gasp win for Pep Guardiola’s side, who finish 19 points ahead of nearest rivals Manchester United.
As well as winning the most points by an English top-flight side in a single campaign, City’s 32nd win broke Tottenham’s 57-year-old record for victories in a single top-flight season, BBC reports.
