The Premier League finished with a bang as 33 goals went in across 10 matches on a thrilling final day.

Aston Villa booked a spot in Europe at the expense of Tottenham and Everton survived by the skin of their teeth despite Leicester winning their last outing.

We take a look at the top performers as the players not involved in FA Cup or European finals get ready to head on holiday. 

Granit Xhaka (Arsenal)

In what may be his final game for Arsenal, Granit Xhaka gave fans something to remember him by.

The Swiss midfielder's return to form was one of the key driving forces behind the Gunners' surprise title charge and he reserved one last all-action performance for the final day.

Xhaka, who has been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen, nodded home Gabriel Jesus' cross to open the scoring before pouncing on a loose ball to seal his first Arsenal brace after just 14 minutes.

Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton)

Abdoulaye Doucoure scored an absolutely huge goal for Everton

midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure stepped up when needed most to fire home an incredible half-volley that ultimately kept Everton in the Premier League.

Jordan Pickford's saves at the other end of the field merit a mention but goals win matches and the Frenchman's strike was a peach.

Doucoure refused to call himself a hero after the game — insisting the Toffees' squad have some wrongs to right next season  — so we will do it here.

Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa)

There were superb performances all over the field from Villans stars as they secured Europa Conference League football for next season with a win over Brighton.

But local lad Jacob Ramsey takes the accolades this time after setting up both Douglas Luiz and Ollie Watkins in the 2-1 triumph.

Rampaging down the left flank throughout, the only thing that was missing was a goal, which the academy graduate almost bagged when he arrived at the back post but steered over from close range.

Kamaldeen Sulemana (Southampton)

Kamaldeen Sulemana put in a flipping great performance against Liverpool

Just like London busses, Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana did not have to wait long for his second Southampton goal after breaking his duck.

With his relegated side 2-0 down to Liverpool, the February arrival set up James Ward-Prowse before his poacher's effort drew the Saints level.

Sulemana, 21, then curled into the side netting after a mazy run from his own half that suggests Championship defenders will be praying he is sold before next season.

Harry Kane (Tottenham)

Harry Kane has been superb for a poor Tottenham side

Harry Kane took himself to 30 goals for the season as Tottenham breezed past Championship-bound Leeds.

In most other campaigns, that would have seen him posing with a shiny bit of footwear after the game but Erling Haaland's incredible 36-strike haul earned him the Golden Boot.

Kane's efforts were both finished in typically clinical fashion to highlight why his signature is being coveted by Manchester United and Bayern Munich among others this summer.
