showed he was still awake and others in the squad decided to make a cameo also. the terriers were beginning to bite in the second half. something created out of nothing. the team who had been flagging all season has taken the corner flag out. six minutes later it was eventually replaced to tears. not thatjovial apps for your you would expect in the stadium of a condemned side. even the manchester united manager had to smile. without champions league football his side has to do major rebuilding next season. we have not deserved to be top four. we have not deserved to be top four. we have not deserved to be top four. we have chased the pack. we have been given chances. the league is so tight. it is a good lead. loads of good deeds. when we got the opportunities we were not able to grab them. today was just a confirmation of a long season. in the end of the table does not lie.
7:36 pm
as for arsenal — their hopes of a top four finish are all but over as well after they too were held to a 1—1 draw by brighton. unless they win the europa league, they'll have to beat burnley next week and hope tottenham lose to everton and make up an eight—goal swing. nick parrott reports. it was a draw that may as well have been a defeat. arsenal's players and fa ns been a defeat. arsenal's players and fans are facing a third consecutive season fans are facing a third consecutive season without champions league football. it ended badly after having started so well. with bright and safe from relegation arsenal might have been expecting an easy ride. they showed their intent early on. and they break their intent early on. and the breakthrough soon followed. but while arsenal's forwards have been prolific this season forwards have been prolific this season their defending has been sloppy. brighton could not take their chances until this was handed to them. the opportunity had gone back to the contact saw the referee pointed to the spot. glenn murray

brought them level. that piled the pressure on arsenal. with them snatching at charges —— chances they might ordinarily have finished. with 15 minutes to go the arsenal manager went for broke with a triple substitution but it was brighton who went closest. they stayed solid at the back to leave arsenal relying on winning the europa league to qualify for the champions league. we know it is going to be difficult. our focus is that europa we know it is going to be difficult. ourfocus is that europa league. we can take some opportunity in that europa league to do something important. so those results mean chelsea's win over watford guarantees their place in the champions league next season. a convinvcing 3—0 victory at stamford bridge means they move above tottenham into third.
