Arsenal destined for a top-four finish?
Arsenal enjoyed an excellent 2-0 triumph over rivals Tottenham in an always-heated derby. The victory earned them their 11th straight home win in the league, their longest at the Emirates, and bragging rights over their neighbors.
Then there is this fact: Arsenal has never finished outside the top four after beating Spurs at home. Could this mean a return to the Champions League for the Gunners?
David Moyes reaches an impressive feat
West Ham's clash with Watford was Moyes’ 500th game in the Premier League – only three other managers have managed more top-flight games. Sadly, it ended in a 2-0 defeat for David’s side.
