EPL: Arteta apologises, blame self for Arsenal’s failure to win title

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, said ge is to blame for the team’s inability to win the Premier League title this season.

The Gunners’ 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, confirmed Manchester City as the champions for the third consecutive year.

It is a huge blow for Arteta’s men, who held an eight-point lead at the start of April.

However, a run of two wins from eight games saw City overtake them to retain their trophy.

“From my side, I apologise because we have generated that belief that we could do it and at the end the team couldn’t do it. That’s my responsibility.

“We’re here to win, I want to win, I love winning, I love what everyone does at this club to win. When you don’t get there it’s painful,” Arteta said.
