Arsene Wenger irked by fickle fans

On a day when Arsenal were made to look like champions, Arsene Wenger suggested that possibility might be more realistic if the club’s supporters had kept the faith.

An abject display by Everton and a classy one from the Gunners combined to give Wenger’s side a first Premier League win in four attempts since they beat leaders Leicester City in the middle of February.

It brought a difficult week — in which Arsenal had gone out of the FA Cup to Watford and the Champions League to Barcelona — to a positive end, although the Londoners remain 11 points behind Leicester and seemingly with only the remotest chance of winning a first title since 2004.
