Arsenal Finally Finish On Top Of The Table — The Premier League Fair Play Table

Gunners held on to clinch award.

After five years of no silverware, Arsenal have finally finished top of the Premier League table, albeit just the Fair Play table.

The Gunners edged out arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur for the coveted top spot, which sees them presented with an award and £30,000 in prize money.

The table is decided not just on the number of sendings off and bookings clubs accrue over the course of the season, but also the respect players show for referees and their general behaviour on the pitch.

Premier League champions Chelsea could only finish fifth in the Fair Play table, one place below Manchester United, while Bolton Wanderers, Hull City and Sunderland were the sides rooted to the foot of the table.

With a handful of games left in the season the fair play of the league as a whole was on course to earn English football an extra European place next season — possibly opening the way for relegated Burnley to play in next season's Europa League — but unfortunately a slip in standards meant England fell out of the running for an extra qualification spot, meaning Fulham's eventual third-place finish in the table will not give them the chance to avenge their Europa League final defeat next season.
