Roy Keane was vindicated for praising Arsenal's mentality at the end of the season after they rounded off their campaign with a comeback victory over Southampton.
The Gunners concluded the season on a high note with a 2-1 win, courtesy of Martin Odegaard's decisive strike.
Despite Arsenal wrapping up their third consecutive runner-up finish in the league and making it to the Champions League semi-finals, their accomplishments were somewhat eclipsed by a 17-point deficit behind Premier League winners Liverpool.
However, Keane admitted to being impressed by the Gunners refusing to let their heads drop as the season came to a close.
Before the final matchday, former Manchester United star Keane lauded Arsenal's dogged determination, demonstrated by their dramatic comeback in their 2-2 draw with Liverpool earlier this month.

"We know it's going to be tough again, it was already very tough this season," Slot said.
