1. Arsenal and Manchester United’s demise
This is the first time both Man Utd and Arsenal have finished outside the top 4 in the Premier League era.
It finally happened. What once were giants are now both teams outside of the top four that they lead largely unrivaled over a decade ago. Arsenal can at least forget about the nightmare of drawing Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the last 16 again – unless something even more ridiculous happens to those two in the group stages.
2. Chelsea’s clinical understudy
Michy Batshuayi has scored 5 goals in 239 minutes of Premier League football this season. One every 47.8 minutes.
Feel old? No? Well, you’re probably the same age as young Angel then. Your time is now. Never heard of him? Read our full profile of the rising star.
4. Kane’s hat-tricks
Harry Kane has now scored as many Premier League hat-tricks (6) as Wayne Rooney. He’s only 23-years-old.
The first of two ridiculous stats the wizard that is Harry Kane managed to record on the final day amid the 7-1 destruction of Hull City.
Of course, the Stoke striker’s stat had to be a heading milestone.
5. Kane joins Michael Owen
Not a one-season wonder. Michael Owen did it the 1997/98 and 1998/99 seasons and would later leave Liverpool in 2004. Whether Kane stays for the long-term will mean everything for Spurs’ consistency as a title challenger.
6. Pedro’s home record
Pedro has been directly involved in 12 goals in his last 15 Premier League home games. 6 goals 6 assists. Brilliant at the Bridge.
Stamford Bridge has become fertile ground for Pedro this season and the final day saw him score yet another to cap off an impressive tally in a title-winning season.
7. Anfield’s Gini
Georginio Wijnaldum has scored 17 goals in the Premier League. All 17 have come in home games.
What a signing Jurgen Klopp made last summer when he brought the Dutchman to Anfield – a home he has made for himself with a strike Liverpool can rely on.
8. Mourinho’s history boys
Man Utd’s starting XI vs. Crystal Palace today: – Their youngest in Premier League history – 12 academy graduates in the squad
Ajax and the Europa League final were evidently on Mourinho’s mind when he named this team sheet that caused many heading for the scouting reports.
9. Crouch’s headers
MILESTONE: Peter Crouch is the first player in Premier League history to score 50 headed goals. Head and shoulders above the rest.
Of course, the Stoke striker’s stat had to be a heading milestone.
10. Coutinho unrivaled outside the box
Philippe Coutinho has now scored 15 goals from outside the box since 2012/13, more than any other player in the Premier League.
It may be predictable but the Brazilian magician’s ability from outside the box continues to lift Liverpool and back into the heights of the Champions League.
11. Axel rose to the occasion
Axel Tuanzebe misplaced just ONE pass vs. Crystal Palace: 98.4% pass accuracy, 63 passes, 62 passes completed.
A tidy shift in the center of midfield from the 19-year-old.
12. Goals galore
There were 37 goals in 10 games on the final Premier League day of the season – 3.7 a game. Only 83 days until the start of next season.
It really was a mad one. Bring on Match of the Day.
