Gary Lineker has mercilessly mocked Arsenal amid their defeat away to Newcastle that has handed bitter rivals Tottenham the advantage in the race to seal a Champions League spot.
At such a pivotal point of the season, a turgid performance in N17 last week was followed up by another lacklustre display at St. James' Park as Eddie Howe and the Toon brought the Gunners crashing back to reality. Callum Wilson and Bruno Guimaraes ended up putting the daggers in Arsenal hearts as they need to now rely on a massive favour from already relegated Norwich City if they are to achieve mission impossible at this final stage of 2021/22.
That scenario at Carrow Road on May 22 in conjunction with Arteta's side getting the better of Everton and potentially relegating Chelsea icon Frank Lampard in the process would be the only way now that Champions League football could be achieved from the jaws of death.
