Comments:

League position: 3rd This was manager Arsene Wenger’s 750th Premier League match in charge. Only Sir Alex Ferguson (810) has managed more games in the competition's history. With one game to play, Arsenal had now conceded only 11 goals in their home games in this Premier League season; the lowest total since the 1998-99 season. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Arsenal’s goal against Norwich City on Saturday 30th April 2016 has been confirmed as a Danny Welbeck goal. (Circular 23 – 6th May 2016)

Comments:

League position: 19th Norwich City had now conceded 39 goals in the second-half of their Premier League games in this season; only already relegated Aston Villa (42) had conceded more. Only Villa had now kept as few clean sheets as the Canaries in the Premier League in this season (five).
