Arsenal FC midfielder Declan Rice spoke bluntly: no one will gift the Gunners in the title race. Held (2-2) by Wolverhampton Wanderers midweek, the Londoners let slip a two-goal lead at Molineux, conceding the equalizer in stoppage time. A cruel scenario that gave Manchester City a precious opportunity in the Premier League title race and rekindled questions about Arsenal’s mental toughness.
Aware of the stakes, Rice revealed that a hard-hitting meeting had followed the match. « We won’t be handed it on a plate, we have to go and win it, we have to deserve it and we must be ready to face whatever comes our way », he told The Sun. Before adding: « After the match against the Wolves, we had a frank discussion. We knew that we had let ourselves and the supporters down after being in such a good position. » A clear message: as the final sprint approaches, Arsenal knows it will have to be ruthless to have any hope of lifting the trophy.
