Mikel Arteta has hit out at the Premier League, claiming Arsenal ’s fixture schedule in the race for a top-four place is “not fair”.
The Gunners were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night as their five-match winning run came to an abrupt end. The hosts impressed in the first half but were blown away by two goals in eight second-half minutes from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.
Arsenal had their chances, but Alisson saved well from Martin Odegaard and, despite terrorising Trent Alexander-Arnold , Gabriel Martinelli could not force a goal. The result means Arteta’s side have now lost six in succession to Liverpool without scoring, including four this season.
