The seven most memorable moments from the 2024-25 Premier League season

Another season full of ups and down comes to an end this week. With the title decided and relegations sorted, focus turns to the race for Champions League qualification, with five teams still in the mix for the three spots.

Here are seven memorable moments from the 2024-25 campaign:

Liverpool are champions - again

Liverpool ended a 30-year wait for a Premier League title in the 2019-20 season. But they weren't able to celebrate with fans, with the latter part of the campaign played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

They were able to celebrate in style this time, though, as Arne Slot's men confirmed their status as the best team in the country by walloping Tottenham 5-1 at the end of April.

Bournemouth end Man City run

Manchester City started the season in ominous form, going unbeaten in their first nine games. This took their tally to an incredible 32 without defeat.

But that came to a crashing end at Bournemouth on November 2. Goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson earned the Cherries a 2-1 win, sparking a mind-boggling collapse which ended City's bid for a fifth successive title.

Kluivert's penalty hat-trick

Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert also wrote his name into the history books on November 30 when he became the first player to score a hat-trick of Premier League penalties. The Dutchman netted three from 12 yards in the 4-2 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

Trent gets booed

Trent Alexander-Arnold announced earlier this month he would be leaving his boyhood club at the end of his contract, leaving some Liverpool fans furious.

Supporters were not happy, booing the right-back when he came on as a substitute in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal on May 11.

Forest thrash Brighton

Nottingham Forest enjoyed a brilliant season and have already guaranteed their place in Europe later this year - although it is not yet known in which competition. The highlight was a 7-0 thumping of Brighton on February 1.

The clash saw top scorer Chris Wood score a hat-trick, while a Lewis Dunk own goal and efforts from Morgan Gibbs-White, Neco Williams, and Jota Silva earned Forest a record win in the Premier League.

Ten Hag was toast

Despite signing a new contract in the summer, Erik ten Hag was sacked as Manchester United manager after only nine games. The final straw was a 2-1 defeat at West Ham.

The loss came courtesy of a stoppage-time penalty by Jarrod Bowen. But this was not without controversy as the decision, which was made after VAR intervention, was later ruled to be incorrect. But it was too late for the Dutchman, who'd already been given his marching orders.

Saints beat record low points

Derby set the record low number of points in the 2007-08 season, with a woeful total of 11. But others have come very close to taking the unwanted crown in recent years.

Sheffield United mustered just 16 last year, and Southampton had a painfully good go at beating it this time around. Saints endured a miserable campaign as the division's whipping boys.

But fans breathed a sigh of relief when a 0-0 draw with Manchester City in their 36th game of the season brought them to the magical 12 points. Not a bad way to avoid infamy.
