Are the ghosts of last season resurfacing? After collapsing during the final sprint in the Premier League a year ago, the Gunners scuttled again this Sunday. Although they seemed to be in control of their match against Aston Villa in the first period, Mikel Arteta’s players were knocked down after returning from the locker room (2-0), enough to allow Manchester City to take the lead in the championship alone. After his team’s defeat, Mikel Arteta was understandably at the end of his tether.
“If a match blocks us, it’s because we are not strong enough, he expressed at a press conference. If you want to win titles, when you get to that kind of pivotal moment, you have to react. In any other league in the world, if you win the number of games in a row that we have won, you would be six or eight points ahead. That is not the case here. That’s the challenge.”
