Losing EPL title painful: Arteta

Arsenal are on course to finish second for the third season in a row as their title drought has now extended to 21 years, with their last league title coming in 2002

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta conceded that losing out on the Premier League title to Liverpool was ‘very painful,’ but admitted Arne Slot’s side deserved it.

Liverpool’s 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last week means there’s nothing riding on Arsenal’s last four EPL games, beginning with the home clash against Bournemouth tonight.

“I understand that [Liverpool] is a team that has been more consistent and they have a lot of ingredients that you need to win it [the title] and they deserve to be champions. But it’s very painful [for us],” said Arteta in a press conference.
