Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal were 'not good enough' in brutal review of title collapse

Mikel Arteta has admitted his Arsenal side were "not good enough" in their pursuit of a first league title for nearly 20 years.

If the Gunners lose away at Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening, Manchester City will be crowned champions of the Premier League for the fifth time in six seasons. It marks a heartbreaking end to what has been a campaign that has gone above and beyond the expectations many had of Arsenal before a ball had been kicked back in August.

However, the overriding emotion emerging out of the Emirates at the moment is one of regret, as Arsenal have let slip what was once a firm grasp on the league title. The Gunners have led the way for most of the season but fell short when chasers City ramped up the pressure.
