With a dramatic comeback victory over Leicester on the final day of the Premier League season, Tottenham booked their spot in the inaugural Europa Conference League campaign.
It looked to all as if Arsenal were to pip their great rivals to seventh place, cruising at home to Brighton while Tottenham were 2-1 down at Leicester, but a brilliant Gareth Bale double ensured they finished above the Gunners for the fifth straight season.
And importantly, it means they will be the first English team to play in UEFA's new competition, which will sit below the existing Europa League and Champions League formats.
