Arsenal drops to second after City win - Vieira warns players
Patrick Vieira urges Arsenal players to 'remind yourselves where you are' after Manchester City displaced them from Premier League top spot following a 1-0 victory over Burnley on April 22. The Gunners, who had led the league for over 200 days this season, now sit second with 70 points, trailing City only on goal difference (+37 both). Arsenal maintains their position despite recent struggles, having lost four of their last six matches across all competitions, including two defeats to City and FA Cup quarter-final elimination by Southampton. Vieira's message to the club's official website emphasized: 'You can't reach that level with no quality, with no team spirit and with no togetherness.' The Arsenal icon stressed that the team must remember the quality that brought them to this position to help them win the crucial final matches of the season as they compete for their first Premier League title in 22 years and advance in the Champions League semi-finals.
