Mikel Arteta issues defiant four-word title message - with Arsenal 11 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool

Mikel Arteta has refused to concede defeat in this season's Premier League title race, issuing a defiant four-word message to leaders Liverpool.

The Gunners had the chance to close the gap to five points on Saturday and were expected to do so at home against against 16th-placed West Ham.

However, it proved to be a miserable day at the Emirates with Jarrod Bowen scoring the only goal of the game in the first half.

Liverpool then capitalised with a huge 2-0 win at Manchester City to extend their lead to 11 points with just 11 games remaining.
