Life's a pitch for Arteta after Burnley stalemate

Mikel Arteta

 Arteta blamed the Turf Moor pitch as Arsenal lost more ground in the race to finish in the Premier League's top four after being held to a 0-0 draw at Burnley on Sunday.

Arteta's side are trailing 10 points behind fourth placed Chelsea and look certain to fall well short of the Champions League places.

It was another frustrating afternoon for Arteta, who saw his team squander several chances to take the lead in a match they could easily have lost with better finishing from Burnley.


Arteta claimed the long grass and a dry pitch had played a crucial role in preventing Arsenal playing their normal passing game.
