After Tottenham fell to their third successive defeat in a row against Bournemouth on Saturday, it looked as if the Lilywhites could be in danger of missing out on a top four spot in the Premier League.
However, Spurs’ rivals stumbled on Sunday as Huddersfield held Manchester United to a draw, making it three horse race for the two remaining spots.
Arsenal then failed to beat Brighton at home as they were held to a 1-1 draw, thanks to a second-half penalty from Glenn Murray.
This means that unless the Gunners can overcome an 8 goal deficit in goal difference with Spurs on the final matchday, the fourth spot is guaranteed for Pochettino’s men.
So barring a miracle, Tottenham are set to finish above the Gunners for the third season in a row.
Some Spurs fans on social media took the opportunity to rub it in the faces of their North London rivals.
