Mikel Arteta has bemoaned the lack of consistency in his Arsenal side after seeing them twice surrender leads to draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace and hand Liverpool a Premier League title boost

Mikel Arteta cut a frustrated figure after Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace last night, a result that has all but ended their Premier League title hopes. The Gunners twice took the lead at Selhurst Park only to be pegged back on both occasions.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted his team must regain their sharpness ahead of next week’s Uefa Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain after a frustrating 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday effectively ended their faint Premier League title hopes.
