Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says no team has ever won the Premier League title in their circumstances – but won’t stop fighting until it’s mathematically impossible.
The Gunners’ chances were dealt a massive blow at the weekend as they lost 1-0 at home to West Ham United, allowing Liverpool to pull eight points clear at the top when they beat Manchester City 2-0 on Sunday.
“It was a very disappointing weekend,” Arteta admitted. “The previous 15 games we had won 10 and drawn five – exactly the same as Liverpool with exactly the same goal difference.
