Tottenham move closer to Champions League qualification as Arsenal and Man Utd wobble

It is just over a week since Antonio Conte said it would be a "miracle" if his Tottenham team finished in the Premier League's top four and qualified for the Champions League.

On 1 April Spurs were three points behind the Gunners, having played one game more and with an inferior goal difference.

But fast forward a week and Tottenham have thrashed Newcastle 5-1 and on Saturday won 4-0 at Aston Villa, while the Gunners have suffered back-to-back defeats - the surprising 3-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Monday and Saturday's 2-1 home reverse to a Brighton side who had not won in their previous seven matches.
