Owen’s damning verdict
Michael Owen has heavily criticized Arsenal following back-to-back Premier League defeats in the race for top four.
Writing in his column for BetVictor, Owen said: “I can not believe what happened to Arsenal in recent weeks. Fourth place has been in their hands for most of the season, so to let it slip this late in the season is hugely disappointing.
“The performance against Newcastle was shocking, there was no desire or energy whatsoever. You would have thought Newcastle were the team chasing the top four. “
