For the third season in a row, Arsenal FC were the last team standing, before eventually getting eliminated, in the Premier League title chase. Liverpool FC clinched earlier today, meaning the Gunners will now have to aim for finishing second, and if they do, it’ll mark the third straight season of doing so.
