Arsenal 4-0 Aston Villa: Gunners Leapfrog Tottenham

Arsenal ended their Premier League season on a high as Olivier Giroud's hat-trick ensured they beat rivals Tottenham to second place after cruising to a 4-0 victory over relegated Aston Villa.

Spurs failed to get the point they required to make sure of second place in their game at Newcastle United, astonishingly losing 5-1.

That opened the door to Arsenal and Giroud made it six consecutive goalscoring appearances against Villa with a first-half header and two late finishes.

Substitute Mikel Arteta then forced a late own goal by cannoning a shot against the bar and in off goalkeeper Mark Bunn to ensure the Gunners kept their side of the bargain at a delighted Emirates Stadium.
