Week 33 of the English Premier League concludes with a round-up of all the action from Teeside as second from bottom Middlesbrough entertained Arsenal.

Arsenal kept their faint hopes of Champions League qualification alive beating Middlesbrough by two goals to one at the Riverside Stadium. The Gunners moved within seven points of Manchester City with a game in hand, giving Arsene Wenger hope that he can maintain his record of qualifying in each season he has been at the helm.

Whoever organised the Premier League fixture list had a sick sense of humour when they decided this turkey would end the Easter weekend. Boro came into the tie with the unenviable record of being the only side in the English League system not to register a victory in 2017. They are also the league’s lowest scorers at home with 12.

Fortunately for Boro, Arsenal came into this match with as much confidence as a 14-year old boy with spots standing at the side of the dancefloor at a school disco having gained seven points in their previous eight games, losing their last four away.
