‘We got dragged into the game Newcastle wanted’Manager refuses to concede that title race is over
Mikel Arteta had no complaints about his side’s defeat at Newcastle but refused to concede that the title race is all but over.
“I am very frustrated, we deserved to lose today,” said Arsenal’s manager after Alexander Isak’s fine first-half header secured Eddie Howe’s team a first win in six Premier League games. “We got dragged into the game Newcastle wanted and and not the one we wanted. But you have to be at your best in every game to give you a chance to win.”
