Piers Morgan backtracks again as he slams Arsenal's "inexplicable" Everton defeat

Piers Morgan tore into Arsenal after a "dismal" performance at Everton dealt a hammer blow to their hopes of winning a first Premier League title in 19 years.

The Gunners slumped to a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon, meaning Manchester City can close the gap at the top of the table to two points - having played one more game - if they beat Tottenham on Sunday. The league-leaders looked a shadow of the team that won 16 of their first 19 matches this season, struggling to turn their dominance of possession into clear-cut chances against Everton.

Morgan did not hold back in his assessment of the display on Merseyside, declaring that Mikel Arteta's men were "bullied" and casting serious doubts over their ability to bring the Premier League trophy back to Emirates Stadium.
