The Premier League 2024/2025 season concluded on Sunday with six English clubs securing spots in next season's UEFA Champions League competition.

Chelsea claimed the fourth automatic qualification spot after defeating Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground. Defender Levi Colwill scored the decisive goal, tapping home from Neto's low cross to ensure the Blues' return to Europe's elite competition.

Liverpool and Arsenal finished in the top two positions, while Manchester City secured third place with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on the final day. Ilkay Gundogan and Erling Haaland provided the goals for City, who endured what many consider a disappointing campaign by their recent standards.

Newcastle United claimed the fifth Champions League position despite suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Everton. The Magpies' earlier results proved sufficient to maintain their place in the top European spots.

Tottenham Hotspur secured England's sixth Champions League berth in dramatic fashion by winning the Europa League. Their 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final earlier this week guaranteed their place regardless of their Premier League position.

The Europa League will feature Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, with the latter qualifying through their FA Cup success. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest will represent England in the Conference League despite their final day defeat to Chelsea.
