London's "Arsenal" on Monday suffered a defeat in a crucial English "Premier League" match against "Newcastle United" and severely complicated their position in the fight for a place in the top four. With just one round left, the "Gunners" are two points behind "Tottenham" in fourth place, and will face "Norwich City" in the last round, who are currently in last place. In case of a draw in the last round, "Tottenham" would secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League, while "Arsenal" would settle for the Europa League. After the loss, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta did not hide his disappointment, but admitted that "Newcastle" was the superior team. "It's very hard to accept the result. 'Newcastle' deserved a clear victory. They were much better from the first to the last minute. We couldn't offer them anything. Our opponents were better in all areas, and we couldn't control the ball longer. We had to make a few forced substitutions due to injuries, but that's definitely not an excuse. After the game, I told my players that I am very disappointed that 'Newcastle' played ten times better. Playing like this, we can't even dream of the Champions League," - M. Arteta told "Sky Sports".
