A lone goal wins Arsenal fourth spot in Premier League

Sunday's match between Arsenal and Newcastle seemed to be ending in a goalless draw till Laurent  Koscielny struck in the 52nd minute to bring a lone goal victory for the Gunners and secure the fourth place in the Premier League.

The French defender latched on to Lukas Podolski's header following Theo Walcott's free-kick to score his most important Arsenal goal as they pipped Tottenham to fourth spot in the Premier League and the final place in Europe's elite competition.

The Gunners finished a point ahead of Andre Villas-Boas's Spurs, who scored late on to beat Sunderland but needed to better their rivals' result. Arsenal is placed fourth now with 73 points, a point ahead of Spurs and two points short of the Blues.

Arsenal have not won a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup but reaching the top four again at least means the Gunners can attract new talent in the summer with funds due to be released for players.
