THIRD-CLASS GUNNERS

THEO Walcott handed Arsene Wenger a wining finish to the season with the only goal at Sunderland.

The England Under-21 international fired home from Gilberto's 24th-minute pass to claim the points as the Black Cats fought them all the way to the whistle.

EL-HADJI DIOUF presented Bolton with the ideal parting gift by helping secure their Premier League status.

The Senegal winger intends to quit Wanderers at the end of the season but his 42nd-minute strike sent Gary Megson's side clear of the bottom three with a far superior goal difference to their relegation rivals.

ROY KEANE made it two out of two as a novice manager after Sunderland dramatically dragged themselves to Premier League safety in the 92nd minute of a pulsating derby.

Keane led the Black Cats to promotion in his first season and this victory means they will be in the Premier League again.

MICHAEL Owen played into the fans hearts today with a match-winning derby day double against their nearest rivals Sunderland.

The England forward headed his side in front (pictured above) with just four minutes gone, and then converted a 45th-minute penalty luckly under Craig Gordon.
