'I'm very, very angry' - Arteta after Arsenal hopes suffer 'big blow'

What was billed as a pivotal weekend in the Premier League title race may not be over yet - but it is already shaping up to be a painful one for Arsenal's "very angry" manager Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners went into Saturday's game against West Ham knowing that victory, coupled with a defeat for Liverpool at Manchester City on Sunday, would leave them within touching distance of the Premier League leaders with a game in hand.

It was a huge opportunity Arteta's team, but one they failed to grasp as they delivered a toothless performance against a West Ham side they beat 5-2 at London Stadium back in November, managing only two shots on target in an eventual 1-0 defeat.
