'Unbelievable' - Furious Piers Morgan makes transfer demand after disastrous Arsenal defeat
Arsenal super fan Piers Morgan was left seething on Sunday night as he watched his beloved team stunned by Aston Villa. Unai Emery returned to the Emirates Stadium to oversee an impressive 2-0 win for his side.
The dropped points could be a huge blow in Arsenal's title hopes this season with Manchester City relentless with their form - Liverpool were also humbled at home on Sunday as Crystal Palace ran out 1-0 winners.

Leon Bailey tapped into an open goal from a cross and the prolific Ollie Watkins was superb as he shrugged off Emile Smith-Rowe and lobbed David Raya to put his side 2-0 up with minutes left to play.
Reacting as Villa landed the blow on Arsenal, Morgan took to social media platform X and said: "FFS. We’ve choked again. Unbelievable."
The 59-year-old TV presenter also shared his views on what has gone wrong for Arsenal. After the first half, he bemoaned 'oddly poor finishing' and after the match, he said: "Arsenal’s lack of a proper striker has come back to haunt us. So many chances in first half, but none taken. If Watkins was playing for us, we’d have won this 3-0."

Morgan replied: "I think Cristiano would score 25+ goals a season in our team with the service he’d get. Arteta’s refusal to prioritise a top striker is his one major blindspot."
