Arsenal lost to Newcastle last night- with 2: 0 and is two points behind fourth-placed Tottenham. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said that he was disappointed after the defeat by Newcastle in the Premier League and assessed that his team was not even close to the level of the Champions League.

- I am extremely disappointed. Newcastle was 10 times better than us and fully deserved the victory. Our performance was not even close to the level of the Champions League - said Arteta, and the statement was transmitted by "Sky".

The Newcastle players won last night at home against Arsenal with 2: 0, in the penultimate, 37th round of the Premier League.

Before the end, Arsenal is in the fifth position with 66 points and is two points behind the fourth-placed Tottenham, which is in the last place that leads in the Champions League.

The Arsenal team last played in the Champions League in the 2016/17 season.

- Newcastle deserved to win the match, they were much better than us from the beginning to the last minute. They were much better in every segment. We were bad with the ball. A lot of things happened overnight, like the replacements we had to make due to injury, but that's no excuse - said the Spanish manager.

Arsenal will host Everton on May 22 in the last round of the Premier League, and the rival for the placement in the Champions League, Tottenham, is visiting Norwich.
