Arsenal were toothless in a battle they should have won as Mikel Arteta pays the price for allowing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave without a replacement after the Gunners see top-four hopes dashed against Newcastle

Tottenham have Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min. Arsenal have Eddie Nketiah, a rookie with nine Premier League goals across five seasons. Out of contract, he will also likely be leaving the club this summer.

That was the hand Mikel Arteta chose to play when, without a replacement, he allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave for Barcelona in February.

Nketiah, for the record, has performed manfully in recent weeks. Without his pair of braces against Chelsea and Leeds, Arsenal would already be consigned to Europa League football. They, however, are his only Premier League goals of the campaign.
