Santi Cazorla insists Arsenal still have a chance of finishing second in the Premier League this season, ahead of fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
With second placed Tottenham Hotspur drawing against Chelsea on Monday, Leicester City were crowned Premier League champions.
While Spurs are on 70 points from 36 outings, the Gunners are just a place and three points adrift of their fierce north London rivals.
In order to finish in second spot, Arsenal will not only have to win their remaining two games, but also hope that Tottenham drop points, while keeping in mind Spurs' superior goal difference.
And Cazorla, who recently returned to action for the Under-21s after being sidelined for five months with a knee injury, insisted that Arsenal will fight until the very end to pip Tottenham to the second spot in the league.
