Tonight's Premier League match between Arsenal and Sunderland finished 0-0 and that is a useful result for both teams' respective ambitions.

It means Sunderland cannot now be relegated from the top flight - leaving neighbours Newcastle and Hull to fight for survival - while Arsenal are almost certainly confirmed for the group stage of next season's Champions League.

The Gunners are third in the table with a game remaining, three points clear of Manchester United, and with a goal difference better by seven.
