Arsenal may have expected something to be on the line going into their final day clash with Wolves, but they put in a performance worthy of their second-place finish even though their title dreams were already dead.

It took less than 15 minutes for Mikel Arteta's side to race into a two-goal lead. Granit Xhaka scored the first with a free header before capitalising on shambolic Wolves defending to tap home his second of the game, before leaving to a standing ovation late on ahead of a likely summer exit.

The Gunners were three to the good inside half an hour, with Bukayo Saka on target just days after his new contract was confirmed, and that's how it stayed at the break. Gabriel Jesus added a fourth to remove any doubt, allowing the celebrations to really begin long before Jakub Kiwior scored his first Arsenal goal.

Mikel Arteta's team topped the Premier League table for longer than anyone else, but in the end they were no match for reigning champions Manchester City. The manager still named a strong starting XI against Bruno Lage's men, though, though injuries meant it wasn't quite a full-strength line-up.
