During the closing stages of the season Arsenal suffered three consecutive league defeats: a home loss to Crystal Palace and two dismal away defeats by Wolves and Leicester City. Arsenal then drew 1–1 against out-of-form Brighton in the Gunners' final home match of the season, before winning 1–3 at Burnley. Despite this win, however, Arsenal could only finish fifth in the league, although it was an improvement from last season where they finished sixth. Arsenal's final match of the season saw them play in the Europa League final against Chelsea in Azerbaijan, but they suffered a humiliating 4–1 defeat.
