Merson Slams Arsenal's 'Second Gear' Display

Paul Merton has hit out at Arsenal for playing in 'second gear' against Wolves, allowing Manchester City to close the gap in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners squandered a two-goal lead at Molineux on Wednesday in a result that means Manchester City could go within two points of Mikel Arteta's men if they win their game in hand.

The former Arsenal player's criticism highlights concerns about the team's form as they face mounting pressure from the defending champions.
