Arsenal fans hit back amid Tottenham gloating.
General view as a Tottenham fan poses for a picture in the construction of the new stadium
For the first time in two decades, Tottenham Hotspur will finish above Arsenal in the Premier League table this season.
They secured that status with a 2-0 victory at White Hart Lane, the last ever North London derby to be held at the stadium.
Spurs will play their games at Wembley next season before their new stadium opens in 2018.

The new stadium, yet to be named, will have a narrowly bigger capacity than Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, and it is understandable that there is big excitement that it can take the club to the next level.
A Twitter account dedicated to Tottenham’s new stadium taunted Arsenal after Sunday’s win, lauding Spurs as a better team on every level.
Arsenal are in sixth place in the Premier League, a staggering 17 points behind Tottenham at this late stage of the season as we enter May.

Yet while Spurs are sitting pretty ahead of Arsenal, Gooners have been quick to remind their rivals that this success may only be fleeting and nothing has been achieved yet.
Arsenal have been dominant over Spurs for so long that it will take years of achievement for the Gunners to really believe they are second best.
Tottenham can really prove themselves dominant if they can go on and clinch this season’s Premier League title.
They are four points behind leaders Chelsea and can close that to one point temporarily when they play earlier this weekend and really put the pressure on.
Fail to do so and they risk falling into the category of nearly men. This season they have made big strides, but without a trophy their ‘success’ will risk being seen as simply a one-off in recent history, rather than the power shift they crave.
