Alan Pardew believes Arsenal’s time wasting should mean their Premier League title comes with an asterisk if they are able to hold off Manchester City.

The Gunners’ tactics were heavily criticised by Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler following Wednesday’s 1-0 win at the Amex Stadium that saw them go seven points clear.
