Mikel Arteta mistake that cost Arsenal against Man City as he makes unlikely admission

Mikel Arteta's decision to drop Ben White for Takehiro Tomiyasu cost Arsenal dearly in their defeat by Manchester City.

That's according to former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong, who says the right-back's mistake, which directly led to Kevin De Bruyne's opener at the Emirates, made a difficult task that bit harder for Arsenal on Wednesday.

Frimpong's claim comes as Arteta reflected on the defeat and suggested he actually has more belief that his Arsenal side can win the Premier League title this season than he did before Pep Guardiola's side recorded a 3-1 win and leapfrogged the Gunners at the top of the table.
