Twitter trolls Tottenham after loss on final day sees Arsenal finish above them

Arsenal celebrated finishing 2nd in the Premier League in style

Arsenal pipped Tottenham Hotspur to 2nd place with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa at the Emirates after Spurs spectacularly collapsed against 10 man Newcastle to lose 5-1, which meant the Gunners finished on 71 points, with Spurs falling to 3rd on 70 points. St. Totteringham’s Day has returned yet again.

Predictably, the Arsenal fans were out in full force as they mocked Tottenham for finishing below them in what many consider the Lilywhites best season since 1961, while Arsenal fans consider this the worst season under Arsene Wenger.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

With Arsenal finishing 2nd, there were many stats that came out:

Petr ech has kept 16 Premier League clean sheets in 2015/16; more than any other goalkeeper.

Not a bad signing... pic.twitter.com/Fr8a6aC3Me

Arsenal have finished 2nd, their highest league position for 11 seasons & they have finished above Tottenham for the 21st consecutive season

Wenger was told of the 4th/5th Newcastle goals by a fan. Responded with a little clenched fist uppercut. Clearly quite proud of that record

1000 - Aleksandar Mitrovic's goal vs Tottenham is the 1000th scored in the Premier League this season. Grand.

Some people reminded us that this has been a season of improbabilities:

Newcastle 5-1 Tottenham.

You could have got 5000-1 on that score before the game. pic.twitter.com/TcHdGkMO7J

Some former Arsenal players took the opportunity to have some fun at the expense of Spurs, with Lukas Podolski being chief troll:

And finally, the Arsenal fans provided us with plenty of mirth:

Spurs are the only team in the world who can finish 3rd in a two horse race.
