WHITE BACK FOR SECONDS

Ben's hungry to go one better

- RYAN TAYLOR

BEN WHITE claims Arsenal will reluctantly accept another second-place finish - providing they display the hunger to go one better next season in their two final matches.

Victory over Newcastle, who have beaten Mikel Arteta’s frustrated Gunners on three separate occasions this season, would officially consolidate runners-up spot.

And White feels that's not to be sniffed at given the various injury struggles Arsenal have endured throughout a challenging campaign that stretched the squad to its limits.

He said: "Obviously we can't win it but we still want to do as well as possible and get second place, which is really important.

"We just want to win games, which we know we can. This season, we've had a difficult time with injuries and we've done well with that.
