Arsenal traveled to triumph over Everton on the last day of the 2021/22 Premier League crusade, yet triumph for Tottenham over Norwich guaranteed it was just sufficient for fifth spot and Europa League capability - yet at the same time an enhancement for last season.
The Gunners were predominant all through at the Emirates Stadium and a Gabriel Martinelli punishment got this show on the road, before Eddie Nketiah made it 2-0 after 30 minutes.
First half substitute Donny van de Beek pulled one back for Everton, however Cedric Soares and Gabriel got one after another in the final part to keep away from any kind of rebound. Martin Odegaard then covered it off for the hosts with a fifth in the end arranges.
Very much aware of the gig they expected to do, Arsenal began like a group frantic for a success and were playing with force and high rhythm searching for a fast way through. Odegaard had the best of the earliest possibilities when Michael Keane hindered in the six-yard box.
Martinelli ought to have placed Arsenal ahead a little more than 10 minutes in when the ball broke to him. Be that as it may, his shot was too all around hit and struck the group of substitute goalkeeper Asmir Begovic as opposed to endeavoring to find one of the corners.Everton were totally stuck in for a large part of the initial 20 minutes, in spite of the fact that Demarai Gray got an opportunity to set his group ahead contrary to the rules. Eventually, he needed self-control to take the ball over Aaron Ramsdale off his line.
The Gunners were well deserving of the cutting edge objective, coming from Martinelli's formed punishment. Previous Arsenal man Alex Iwobi thought he had pulled off hindering the Brazilian's wild shot, inclining toward it with his arm somewhat away from his body. In any case, VAR got him out.
The second Arsenal objective just four minutes after the fact will not have satisfied Frank Lampard. It was excessively simple for Martinelli to flick on a close post corner and, surprisingly, more straightforward for Nketiah to gesture in a couple of yards out.
Everton split the shortfall in first-half stoppage break of no place. Weapons store had seen several opportunities to make it 3-0 go asking, with the Toffees then, at that point, compensated for Dominic Calvert-Lewin's perseverance - his low cross in the midst of negligible Arsenal pressure was turned in by Van de Beek.
Lampard's side took certainty from that objective and contended somewhat better after the restart. Be that as it may, it didn't stand the test of time and two additional inadequately safeguarded set pieces with hardly a pause in between removed the game from them around the hour mark.
First it was Cedric with an insistent first-time finish from the edge of the case after Saka had the insight to pull his low corner move in an opposite direction from the group. Very quickly it was Gabriel, whose strong shot was a lot for Begovic notwithstanding getting hands to it - Everton had cleared the underlying risk just to the extent that Cedric, who put his colleague in on objective.
Stockpile were in voyage control after that focuses as the two sides acknowledged their parcel.
There was a great second for Alexandre Lacazette, given the last 23 minutes in addition to stoppage time for what is probably going to have been his last game for the club, gave the skipper's armband for sure.
