Mikel Arteta can thank an old friend Arsenal are not further adrift in title race
The TelegraphWhen the Arsenal team coach left St James’ Park for the airport and flight home it looked like the gap to the team at the top of the Premier League might stretch to eight points – by the time they were home the picture was nothing like as dismal. For that, Mikel Arteta had a childhood friend to thank – his old team-mate from the schoolboy team of Antiguoko KE in the Basque city of San Sebastian, the one and only Andoni Iraola. There was a time when an Arsenal defeat of this scale and magnitude was an event: Arteta wagging a finger in the fourth official’s face, solemn questions asked about the state of refereeing, perhaps even a letter of complaint on headed notepaper. Yet at St James’ Park the great Premier League challengers of the past two seasons just ebbed away, devoid of the usual indignation.
