Arsenal missing out on the top four leads the final Match of the Day of the season.

The Gunners needed a favour from Watford or Middlesbrough but nothing was forthcoming with eight goals conceded from the two club combined so a 3-1 win over Everton was fruitless come full-time.

Chelsea's title celebrations are fourth in the running order, with the top-four race the only prize up for grabs.
