Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions with a game to spare after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth.
City arrived at the Vitality Stadium with rumours swirling concerning Pep Guardiola's future with the club, and if he is to depart at the end of this week, he will do so after failing to win the English top-flight in back-to-back seasons for the first time.
Guardiola's team started positively enough, with Jeremy Doku testing Djordje Petrovic and Antoine Semenyo having a goal disallowed for offside.
But a glaring Evanilson miss was a warning that the visitors did not heed, and they fell behind six minutes before half-time as Junior Kroupi took in a cutback from Adrien Truffert before curling a wonderful effort into the top-right corner.
Nico O'Reilly failed to beat Petrovic after a driving run from Erling Haaland early in the second half, then Bournemouth missed a trio of quickfire chances to make it 2-0.
Evanilson worked Gianluigi Donnarumma and teed up Kroupi for a wayward effort, while Rayan struck the outside of the post on the swivel.
Substitute David Brooks also hit the upright after breaking through one-v-one, as did Rodri for City, with Haaland lashing against the woodwork and in from the rebound of that latter chance in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
But there was no time for City to score a famous winner and take the title race to the final day, with the celebrations beginning at Emirates Stadium.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have qualified for Europe for the first time in their history.
However, they are not yet sure of which competition they will be playing in. They sit three points behind Liverpool, and could still qualify for the Champions League by a sixth-place finish, too, albeit that would rely on Aston Villa winning the Europa League.

Data Debrief: Arsenal celebrate long-awaited title, Kroupi makes history
Twenty-two years on from "The Invincibles" of 2003-04, Arsenal have won their 14th top-flight title overall and their fourth in the Premier League era.
At 44 years and 54 days old, Mikel Arteta is the second-youngest manager to win the Premier League.
Only Jose Mourinho was younger when he guided Chelsea to the title in both 2004-05 (42 years and 94 days old) and again in 2005-06 (43 years and 94 days old).

City could have few complaints with Tuesday's result, with Bournemouth the better team for much of the contest – the Cherries only had 10 shots to City's 14, but they won the expected goals (xG) battle by 1.99 to 1.67.
And with goals against Arsenal, City and Manchester United, Kroupi is the first teenager to score against each of the teams finishing in the top three in a single Premier League campaign.
His 13 Premier League goals this term are also the most by any teenager in their debut season in the competition.
