With Aston Villa taking the three points, it leaves two Europa League spots up for grabs and a total of four clubs competing for one of them.
Bournemouth had already secured a top-seven finish and a place in Europe for the first time in their history after a midweek draw against Manchester City but a draw on the final day ensured they would finish sixth.
It left Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford and Sunderland battling for seventh.
Incredibly, the team that started the day furthest from the position that would eventually occupy the second and final spot in the Europa League – Sunderland.
The Black Cats became the 10th team since the Premier League’s inception to qualify for Europe at the first attempt after promotion from the second tier earlier in the season.
A 2-1 win against ChelseaCombined with the Brighton defeat, and Brentford dropping points means the Black Cats jump from tenth to seventh.
Only four promoted sides have qualified for Europe in 2018-19, most recently with Wolves finishing fifth.
Crystal Palace will join both Bournemouth and Sunderland in next season’s Europa League if they beat Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final on May 27.
