Hull 1 Arsenal 3. A superb first-half display from Arsenal crushed the life out of Hull as the Gunners celebrated yet another St Totteringham's Day - the date on which it becomes impossible for Spurs to finish above their London rivals.

Victory also confirmed Champions League football for the Gunners next season and leaves them level on points with Manchester City. The Sky Blues remain second on points difference but Arsene Wenger's side have a game in hand and on current form Arsenal should finish second behind Chelsea, which would be their highest league position since the 2004-05 season.
