Arsenal have been revealed as the Premier League's biggest time-wasters after being accused of deploying delaying tactics during their draw at Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta's side have come under fire for alleged gamesmanship as they looked to protect a sensational victory during the second half at the Etihad, before John Stones scored a dramatic equaliser in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

Several City players voiced their irritation with the stop-start nature of the game and Kyle Walker even claimed the visitors had used 'the dark arts'.

And research conducted by Opta Analyst appears to show that City's complaints were valid with Arsenal topping the table for the top-flight's highest average delays.
