EPL: We won’t talk about it – Arteta on title race after Newcastle defeat

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has refused to be drawn on his team’s title chances after a 1-0 loss at Newcastle United on Saturday.

Alexander Isak headed in the only goal of the game in the 12th minute.

The game saw Arteta’s men fail to break down the hosts and register only one shot on target.

Arsenal are now seven points behind table toppers Liverpool after their 2-1 victory over Brighton later on Saturday

Arteta said: “I understand that, but after eight, nine or 10 games last year we didn’t [talk about the title] and we won’t talk about it now.

“It’s about how you react to that. We’re not going to find the right words or answers to describe how we feel.

“We have to put it on that field on Wednesday night against Inter Milan [in the Champions League].”
