Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie admits the pressure was intense during their 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion.

The result saw the Gunners finish above Tottenham and qualify for the Champions League.

"It was double [pressure]," the captain told Arsenal Player. "We knew what was at stake and that made the game a bit tense.

"I didn't really expect a proper game of football but it doesn't matter, sometimes you have to dig in hard, work for each other and play for the team. I think everyone did that here.

"The main thing was that we had to qualify, everyone is very pleased and everyone is enjoying this moment. It is just a fantastic feeling again to be ahead of Spurs. I heard that they won but it didn't really matter because we won our game and that is just the best feeling of all."
