Arsenal tied Brighton on Sunday to further damage their chances of a top-4 finish in the Premier League. Arsenal would need a miracle to finish in the top-4, which means they almost certainly will need to win the Europa League to secure qualification. 

“Our first target was [to finish in the top four] in the Premier League so we are very, very disappointed,” said Unai Emery. “But we need to keep a strong focus for Thursday in Valencia, we can still do something important.”
