Tottenham players are distraught after the scoreline on the final day of the season

A rivalry that is in the roots of the club, Arsenal and Tottenham despise anything even remotely related to the other. Last season, when Tottenham were on course to challenge Leicester for the top spot with one month of football left, nobody thought that Arsenal could catch up. However, as thing turned out, Tottenham fell to Chelsea which handed the league to Leicester.

After their title hopes were squashed, Tottenham went on a poor streak, dropping points for fun. The final nail in the coffin came on the last day of the season when already relegated Newcastle United beat them 5-1. This saw Arsenal finish above Spurs yet again, leading to St.Totteringham’s Day celebrations (The point in the season where Tottenham cannot finish above Arsenal).
