'Like watching seal clubbing' - Piers Morgan claims Arsenal playing Chelsea 'should be outlawed' after 'inhuman' thrashing of London rivals and insists Gunners will beat Man City to Premier League title

Following Arsenal's dismantling of Chelsea on Tuesday night at the Emirates, journalist Morgan gloated about his side's victory and compared the win to seal clubbing. He added that while the Gunners "choked" the Premier League title away last season, he's confident that Mikel Arteta's men will emerge victorious this time round.

He said on talkSPORT on Wednesday: “Arteta should have won it last year, Arsenal should have won it last year and every fan knows we choked it. This year we cannot choke and will not choke. I am supremely confident. That performance [against Chelsea] - if that doesn’t send a shudder down the spine of every Man City fan, then I don’t know what will. Albeit, it was a bit like watching seal clubbing. I know it’s horrible, but you know in seal clubbing when their little heads pop up… Seal clubbing was a terrible thing, that was actually exposed by the Daily Mirror [when I was editor] - we had it outlawed. I think that us playing Chelsea should be outlawed now because it is so inhuman.”

Arsenal's win took them three points clear at the top of the Premier League with four games remaining, however, Liverpool can draw level with them if they beat Everton on Wednesday night. Manchester City, on the other hand, sit four points off the summit but will usurp both of their rivals if they win their two games in hand. This title race could go to the wire.

Next up for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal is an away trip to north London rivals Tottenham on Sunday, whereas City take on Brighton at the Amex on Thursday, and Liverpool travel to Goodison Park to face Everton on Wednesday night.
