United were the sideshow on Sunday as Spurs bid farewell to White Hart Lane and rubber stamped second spot - their highest finish since 1963.
Considering they have won just four of their last 11 league fixtures, odds of 3/4 (1.75) certainly seem generous on Arsenal failing to overcome Manchester United yet again here.
Both Roncaglia and Eric Bailly were sent off after a heated confrontation and John Guidetti missed a gilt-edged chance to send Celta through on away goals when he failed to convert with the final kick of the match.

Asked if failing to win the Europa League would make the season a failure, he replied: "I think, by you media, you have the right to say it and I think it makes sense". I don't think the board feels like that.
Wenger said: "I was not happy with the referee because he gave them many free-kicks in the centre of the park".
"We can win a trophy and by winning that trophy we can play Champions League next season, so that's the game". We played, we tried to win.
However, should the injured and suspension hit United manage to lose the final, they could well find themselves out of the Europa League and looking at a below-par finish in the Premier League to boot.
"I am fine with what we had in terms of individual performances", he added.
