Gary Neville gives six reasons why Arsenal struggled in Premier League title race with Man City

Manchester United icon Gary Neville has taken to social media to criticise Arsenal's collapse in the Premier League title race.

The north Londoners had led the league by as much as eight points earlier this season but a run of just two wins in their last seven fixtures has seen them all but hand Manchester City their fifth title in six seasons, with the Citizens able to officially become champions if they beat Chelsea next weekend. One pundit that consistently backed City to overcome the Gunners in the title race was Neville, who remained sceptical of Mikel Arteta's side throughout the season.

Now, the former England right-back has written a damning tweet regarding Arsenal's end-of-season form after yesterday's 3-0 defeat to Brighton, admitting that Arteta's young team struggled when the going got tough. "Arsenal have had a great season but when the going got tough they struggled," he wrote.
