adminLONDON. — Manchester United’s defeat by West Ham on Tuesday night was good news for Arsenal, who again qualified for Champions League football under Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal will play in Europe’s elite competition for the 19th successive season because they can finish no lower than fourth in the English Premier League. They sit third on 68 points, five ahead of Louis van Gaal’s team, who succumbed to two goals in the 76th and 80th minutes at Upton Park to leave them all but out of the race for a top-four finish. For Arsenal to finish fourth they would need to lose to Aston Villa, while Manchester City would need to win away at Swansea City.
Finishing fourth is enough to earn a place in the final qualifying round of the Champions League. — Mailonline.
