There's also a small bonus for Gunner fans with this win.

Spurs got pushed from the group stage down to the qualifying stage for the Europa League.

Finished in sixth place in the Premier League. Enter the 2020-21 Europa League competition at the second qualifying round stage. Had Arsenal lost in the FA Cup final to Chelsea, Tottenham would have qualified for the 2020-21 Europa League group stage. Now they must start qualifying in mid-September with the second round on Sept. 17 and the third on Sept. 24 and a playoff on Oct. 1. Only after the playoff will they know whether or not they will be in the Europa League group stage.



Spurs got a bonus game for the DVD library

The Golden Years!
I definitely did not miss that nuance.

It would have been even sweeter if CP could have mustered a win on the final Sunday, but I'll take forcing extra matches on Spurs in a condensed schedule as an alright consolation prize.
