The thing that maybe should niggle in the back of Arsenal minds today is that Erling Haaland actually had a point.
As the Manchester City forward exited the stage at the end of Arsenal’s evisceration of his team at the Emirates on Sunday, he pointed to the badge on his arm that marks him out as a Premier League title winner. Twice.
Petty? Yes. Desperate? After such a mauling, maybe a little.
But it was pertinent just the same because as much as we admire Arsenal for their ambition, their energy, their growing belief and their unarguably deep well of talent, they are not a team of winners.
