Mikel Arteta branded Arsenal’s performance in defeat at Newcastle indefensible and said that they did not deserve to qualify for the Champions League playing like that as he accepted they have to “swallow the poison” from a terrible night for them.
Arsenal lost 2-0 at St James’ Park to leave them two points behind Tottenham with a game to go and Arteta accepted Eddie Howe’s team were “100 times better”.
