Arsenal star Takehiro Tomiyasu has opened up on why the Gunners imploded so spectacularly at the back end of last season and missed out on Champions League qualification.
Mikel Arteta's men occupied the much-coveted fourth spot with just three games to go and even boasted a five-point advantage over nearest challengers and local rivals Tottenham. Yet, after defeat at the hands of their enemies was followed by another loss at St. James' Park against Newcastle, Antonio Conte's Spurs leapfrogged Arsenal into the top four.
The pain of that night on Tyneside will live long in the memory of all who witnessed it, with Arteta's young side, who had enjoyed such stellar results earlier on in the campaign, falling at the final hurdle when it mattered most.
