EPL: Two teams confirm Champions League qualification
At least two Premier League teams have confirmed their spots in next season’s Champions League.
They are Liverpool and Arsenal.
Before Sunday, the Reds had booked their place after they emerged Champions.
But the Gunners needed a point from their last two fixtures, to be sure of representing England on the continent.
Mikel Arteta’s men duly made sure of that with a narrow 1-0 victory over fellow challengers Newcastle United on Sunday.
After a first half where the Magpies dominated and forced excellent saves from David Raya, the hosts took the lead in the second half.
Declan Rice swept home Martin Odegaard’s pass to ensure Arsenal finished the season with a home win.
The result takes Arsenal to 71 points with a match left – away at relegated Southampton.
Newcastle, Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are the other teams battling for the three remaining Champions League spots.
