Arsenal’s FA Cup win has impacted Tottenham’s European dreams in a big way

Two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sealed a deserved 2020 FA Cup final win against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.

The Gabonese slotted a first-half penalty home before showing all of his class in the second half by lifting the ball over Willy Caballero with an exquisite finish.

It was an important victory for a number of reasons, not least that it ensured the Gunners will have European football to play in the 2020/21 campaign.

Arsenal will go straight into next season’s Europa League, but that means that North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are impacted in a huge way.

Jose Mourinho’s men will now have to win in the qualifying rounds in order to get into the competition proper according to a tweet from Evening Standard journalist, Simon Collings.

If winning the cup under Mikel Arteta wasn’t good enough already for Arsenal’s long-suffering supporters, the fact that Spurs might not now even make it into the Europa League will surely give them another reason to celebrate.
