Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has taken the blame for his side's end-of-season collapse in the Premier League title race.
The north London outfit led the league for the majority of the season, ahead of Manchester City by as many as eight points before falling into a rut that has seen them win just two of their last seven matches. City now sit four points clear at the top of the table whilst having a game in hand on their title rivals, meaning a win against Chelsea next weekend would crown them as champions for the fifth time in six seasons.
After losing 3-0 to Brighton on Sunday, Arteta made it no secret of his disappointment before insisting that he felt responsible for letting the fans down. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Spaniard said: "I hate the feeling of letting people down when they're really expecting something.
