Tottenham will look to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Manchester City in midweek, but fans of arch-rivals Arsenal noticed something amiss about how the game was unfolding
Spurs came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 at home in the Premier League on Saturday, sealing the Clarets’ relegation and ensuring Vincent Kompany’s side return to the Championship next season
Burnley took the lead with a goal from Jakob Brun Larsen, but Pedro Polo equalized in the first half
The Clarets needed a win to keep their hopes of survival alive, but their fate was sealed when Micky van de Ven scored Spurs’ late winning goal
Ange Postecoglou’s side still maintain his fifth place in the top flight, meaning they are on track to qualify for next season’s Europa League
Spurs are battling Aston Villa for the fourth and final spot in the Champions League, with the north London outfit trailing the Villa Park side by four points with two games remaining
Tottenham must win both of their remaining games to have any chance of qualifying for Europe’s top club competition next season, with Villa losing one of their last two and losing the other
I hope to draw the game
Villa face Liverpool at Villa Park on Monday night, while Tottenham’s next game is at home to City on Tuesday as Josep Guardiola’s side move closer to the title
But even though yesterday’s win was not the last home game of the season, Spurs players and their families took a lap of gratitude after the final whistle
