Mikel Arteta reveals exactly what he has been 'very unhappy' with at Arsenal during title race

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed he is "very unhappy" with the soft goals his side have conceded in recent weeks. The Gunners have conceded 19 per cent of their season total for goals in their last four games, having failed to keep a clean sheet in the league since their March clash with Fulham.

It was another feature of their play against West Ham last time out as the north London outfit dropped a two-goal lead to draw the match. As a result, their lead at the top of the Premier League table was cut to just four points, putting the race with Manchester City in the balance.

When asked why his side dropped points after the Hammers clash, Arteta responded: "Because after we could not control what West Ham was proposing. If you concede two goals away from home, it’s so hard to win football matches in the way we did. We have to blame ourselves there for how we defended our boxes."
