Arsenal and Tottenham players reportedly ended up partying together in central London after the final day of the Premier League season, with the two north London rivals marking very different ends to the campaign.
For Mikel Arteta’s side, the night followed the formal trophy lift at Selhurst Park, where Arsenal celebrated their first league title in 22 years.
For Tottenham, the emotion was relief rather than glory after they avoided relegation on the final day.
According to SunSport, Arsenal’s players began their celebrations at Bacchanalia in Mayfair, where non-playing staff, backroom employees, training-ground staff, families and friends were invited to join the squad.

The venue was all-but closed to the public, allowing Arsenal’s players and staff to celebrate privately after a demanding season that ended with the club back at the top of English football.
Some of the squad later moved on to Bagatelle, before heading to Tape nightclub, where they reportedly crossed paths with Tottenham players, who were also out after the final round of fixtures.
Despite the rivalry between the clubs, “SunSport was told both sets of players partied together into the early hours of the Bank Holiday morning.”
I’m sure the Spurs’ fans will love those images if they ever come out.
