Title out of reach for Arsenal

DANNY ROSE marked his introduction to the Premier League in spectacular style, striking a 25-yard volley that set Tottenham on course for a victory that ended Arsenal’s interest in the title race.

Rose, 19, struck in the ninth minute and his effort was followed with a 46th minute strike from Gareth Bale. Arsenal staged a late recovery with Nicklas Bendtner pulling one back in the 84th minute but Spurs keeper Heurelho Gomes produced three stunning saves to deny the visitors.

The outcome means Arsenal now lie six points adrift of leaders Chelsea with just four games remaining. Tottenham meanwhile remain in the thick of the race for fourth, lying just one point behind Manchester City.
