Yeremi Pino - Provides assist late in final game Pino assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Pino whipped in the cross for Jean-Philippe Mateta's 89th minute header before smashing the ball home himself just moments later, only for VAR to chalk it off for an offside on Evann Guessand in the buildup, killing what would have been a dramatic Palace equalizer to spoil Arsenal's title celebrations. He was Crystal Palace's main spark after coming off the bench at halftime, finishing the match with an assist and three chances created in a lively late push. Pino wraps up his first Premier League season with two goals and two assists across 34 appearances (26 starts) and now turns his attention to the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano on May 27 in Basel before linking up with Spain for the 2026 World Cup.

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Scores late header in season finale Mateta scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Arsenal.

Impact Mateta came off the bench and powered home Palace's late consolation in the 89th minute, climbing highest to meet Yeremy Pino's delivery and burying a strong header past Kepa Arrizabalaga to spoil Arsenal's clean sheet. He wraps up the Premier League season as Crystal Palace's leading scorer with 12 goals in 32 appearances (25 starts), a strong return from a striker now shifting full focus to the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano on May 27 in Basel before linking up with France for the 2026 World Cup.

Dean Henderson - Five saves in last league game Henderson registered five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Henderson came up with four saves in Sunday's 2-1 season finale loss at home to Arsenal, including a point-blank denial on Eberechi Eze's last-second effort that kept his former teammate off the scoresheet just before the title celebrations kicked off. He was beaten by Gabriel Jesus on a near-post finish in the 42nd minute and had no shot at stopping Noni Madueke's volley early in the second half, with neither goal falling on him. Henderson wraps the campaign with 37 Premier League starts, 11 clean sheets, and a career-high 106 saves, and now shifts focus to the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano on May 27 in Basel before linking up with England for the 2026 World Cup.

Gabriel Martinelli - Provides assist for opener Martinelli assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Martinelli set up Gabriel Jesus' 42nd minute opener, collecting Max Dowman's flick before threading a perfectly weighted through ball that the Brazilian buried at Dean Henderson's near post to put Arsenal in front. He was a constant threat down the left wing despite the heavily rotated lineup, bringing energy and creativity every time he got on the ball. The Brazilian wraps up the Premier League season with one goal and four assists in 30 appearances (11 starts), a disappointing return by his standards, but he'll look to make an impact in Saturday's Champions League final before linking up with Brazil for the 2026 World Cup.
