Concerned Arteta urges Gunners to turn corner

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta insists they have to consistently produce good performances or they will continue to fall behind in the race for Champions League qualification.

The Gunners’ goalless draw at Bolton on Wednesday was their first point in four league matches and they dropped to seventh in the Barclays Premier League, although still only five points off fourth-placed Chelsea. But Arteta knows they cannot afford another run like the one they have just had if they are to continue their unbroken sequence in Europe’s elite club competition.

“For me it is not good enough. We have the players and the quality to come [to Bolton] and get a better result than what we got,” said the Spaniard.
