Sagna: Arsenal play too much football

BACARY SAGNA feels Arsenal must sometimes “cut out the football” as they aim to secure the points needed to keep their Premier League title bid alive.

The battle-weary and injury-hit Gunners must lift themselves for the final five matches of the domestic campaign having seen their European dreams shattered after a comprehensive defeat to a Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona in the Nou Camp.

Arsenal head to north London rivals Tottenham next Wednesday night, in a match rescheduled due to Spurs’ involvement in the FA Cup semi-final, with little margin for error given how tight it is at the top of the table, where currently just three points separating the leading sides.
