UK Back Pages: Arsenal Ridiculed After Another Capitulation
Another Arsenal capitulation has the back pages (and Arsene Wenger) all but conceding the Premier League title to London rivals Chelsea.ย
Only a matter of days after the Gunners squandered a three-goal lead in the Champions League, Arsenal led Swansea City in Wales before conceding two goals in quick succession and ultimately losing.ย
They're now 12 points adrift of Chelsea.ย
The press had a field day on (another) Arsenal collapse.ย
Mirror Sport simply went with "Bottled It" and also didn't spare Arsenal's north London neighbours, Tottenham, who also dropped points:
