Arsenal capped off a historic season with a sleepy win in their final Premier League match, defeating Crystal Palace 2–1 on Sunday at Selhurst Park.
The Gunners, who won the league title on Tuesday for the first time in 22 years, came into Sunday calm, a bit unmotivated and perhaps still hungover. Manager Mikel Arteta employed a heavily rotated squad with an eye towards the Champions League final next week against Paris Saint-Germain. Crystal Palace similarly lacked motivation and employed a makeshift lineup, strategizing for their impending Conference League final on Wednesday.
