Euro woe as Arsenal outgunned by rivals

ARSENAL missed out on a place in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years despite beating Everton on the final day of the season.

Big wins for Manchester City and Liverpool rendered Arsenal’s result irrelevant, with the Gunners finishing fifth.

Hector Bellerin tapped into an empty net to give the hosts the lead before Laurent Koscielny saw a straight red card for a rash challenge on Enner Valencia.

Still, Arsenal doubled their lead through Alexis Sanchez’s close-range finish, before Romelu Lukaku got one back from the penalty spot after Nacho Monreal handled. Aaron Ramsey wrapped it up with a delightful curling effort in stoppage time.

Manchester City sealed their place in next season’s Champions League by crushing Watford 5-0 to finish third in Pep Guardiola’s debut season. Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero (2), Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho were the scorers.

After seeing an early penalty shout for Middlesbrough turned down, Liverpool finally settled the Anfield nerves when Dutchman Georginio Wijnaldum drilled them ahead just before half-time.

A 25-yard free-kick from Philippe Coutinho on 50 minutes and a third goal from Adam Lallana in the 56th minute secured the 3-0 victory.

Josh Harrop scored on his debut as Manchester United’s disappointing Premier League campaign ended with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick to retain the Premier League golden boot as Tottenham thrashed Championship-bound Hull City 7-1 at the KCOM Stadium.

Kane - who netted four goals in the midweek 6-1 romp at Leicester – set second-placed Spurs on their way after 11 minutes, and there were also goals for Dele Alli, Victor Wanyama, Ben Davies and Toby Alderweireld

Burnley completed their Premier League season with a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham. Sam Vokes put the Clarets ahead but Sofiane Feghouli and Andre Ayew turned the game around.

Leicester and Bournemouth drew 1-1 as Junior Stanislas fired the Cherries ahead within the opening minute, but a 16th goal of the season for Jamie Vardy secured a point for the Foxes.

Stoke beat Southampton 1-0 at St Mary’s Stadium with a header from Peter Crouch on the hour taking the points.
