With Aston Villa picking up all three points, it left two Europa League spots to play for and there were four clubs in total vying for one of those.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth had already guaranteed at least a top-seven finish and a place in Europe for the first time in their history after the midweek draw against Manchester City but the draw on the final day ensured that they would finish sixth.<\/p>\n

That left Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford and Sunderland fighting for seventh.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, it would be the team that started the day furthest away from that position that would ultimately take the second and final spot in the Europa League – Sunderland.<\/p>\n

The Black Cats became the 10th team since the Premier League’s inception to earn a spot in Europe at the first attempt following promotion from the second tier the season before.<\/p>\n

A 2-1 victory over Chelsea<\/a>, combined with defeats for Brighton, plus Brentford dropping points meant the Black Cats jumped from tenth all the way up to seventh.<\/p>\n

Only four promoted sides have previously qualified for Europe via their league position with the most recent being Wolves in 2018-19 and now Regis le Bris’ side become the fifth.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace will join both Bournemouth and Sunderland in next season’s Europa League, should they beat Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final on 27 May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Aston Villa picking up all three points, it left two Europa League spots to play for and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465160,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-465159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
