Football | Arsenal's miserable streak continues: “Worst performance of the season”

Aston Villa is also two points ahead of Arsenal, and reigning champions Manchester City, who have played less matches, are level with the “Gunners”.

“We weren't good enough. We lost a game to West Ham that we fully deserved to win, but now we weren't even close to that level. This has to be forgotten because it was our worst performance this season. It's really hard to digest,” the Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said a rude New Year's Eve.

Fulham had lost their previous three games without scoring a goal.

“You can't end the year better than this,” Fulham's coach Marco Silva lingered.
