Wolves fight back to derail Arsenal title bidAFP, WOLVERHAMPTON, EnglandMikel Arteta on Wednesday said that Arsenal deserve criticism for the self-inflicted wounds that threaten to ruin their English Premier League title bid after the leaders blew a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw at rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers.

City are just five points behind Arsenal and have a game in hand on their rivals, as well as a home game against the Gunners in April. In the second half we did not perform in the way we should and the way we require to win a Premier League match,” he said.
