Arsenal's board have issued a statement following a brilliant season for the club. Coming off the back of a 5-0 hammering of Wolverhampton Wanderers, the players and staff ended the year as they had spent most of the campaign: in top form.
Goals from Granit Xhaka - on his expected final game for the club - Gabriel Jesus, Jakub Kiwior and Bukayo Saka, secured an emphatic victory for a day of celebration, appreciation and farewells. After the match an emotional Mikel Arteta said: "I’m a human being. I have feelings.
"It was really nice the way they transmitted their love and support to the team, to every player, and obviously to me as well. It’s been a really emotional year and a very special season. The team and our people deserved to end it in a good way so I’m really happy."
