Tottenham have finished above Arsenal in the Premier League for a sixth straight season. Spurs are the 26th team to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Tottenham Hotspur have finished above Arsenal in the Premier League for the sixth season in a row.

Spurs sealed fourth place by beating Norwich 5-0 on Sunday - a result which rendered Arsenal's 5-1 win over Everton meaningless.

Son Heung-min scored twice at Norwich to end the season as a co-winner of the Premier League's Golden Boot along with Liverpool's Mo Salah.

By finishing fourth, Tottenham became the 26th team to qualify for next season's Champions League group stage.

Tottenham have progressed beyond the group phase four times, with their only failure to do so coming in 2016 when they finished below Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen.

Spurs reached the quarter-finals in their first ever UCL campaign in 2010/11 when they eventually lost to Real Madrid.

But their best run in the competition to date came in the 2018/19 season when they reached the final, where they lost 2-0 to Liverpool.

Arsenal have not competed in the Champions League since the 2016/17 season, when they lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the last 16 after two 5-1 thrashings.

Tottenham's recent run of Premier League dominance in north London came directly after Arsenal had finished above them in 21 successive seasons.
