Arsenal failed to qualify
for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years despite a 3-1 win over
Everton on the final day of the Premier League.
The Gunners began the day
a point behind fourth-place Liverpool and were on course to displace the Reds
when they took an eighth-minute lead.
But Liverpool, needing a
win to ensure fourth, broke Middlesbrough resistance just before the break, and
won 3-0.
Manchester City claimed
third with a very easy 5-0 win at Watford.
Arsene Wenger's Arsenal
have finished outside the top four for the first time in 21 years.
Arsenal's remarkable run
of qualifying for the Champions League in 19 consecutive seasons came to its
widely anticipated end on Sunday.
Hope grew among the home
support when Hector Bellerin gave the Gunners an early lead and news filtered
through that Liverpool were struggling against the relegated Teessiders.
But in first-half stoppage
time Georginio Wijnaldum put the Reds ahead with a stunning strike, and Jurgen
Klopp's men eventually ran out comfortable winners.
Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger: "It is annoying but we had a spell during the season that was
difficult and it was difficult for me in my personal situation.
"We were playing in a
hostile environment. The players came back stronger in the last two months and
I'm very proud of them for doing that."
