Mathieu Flamini sends warning message to Arsenal team-mates
ARSENAL star Mathieu Flamini has warned talk of a Premier League title challenge could be distracting after his side’s victory against Manchester City.
Mathieu Flamini admits Arsenal are a long way from the Premier League title
Goals from Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud helped the Gunners to a 2-1 win over Manuel Pellegrini’s side and moved them two points behind league leaders Leicester City.
But Frenchman Flamini, who stretched his unbeaten run at the Emirates to 52 games, admitted talk of a title challenge could be distracting as there is still a long way to go this season.
"We play against them quite regularly so we know what to expect. We played well with great solidarity and I’m pleased for everyone, the players and the fans, and it was an early Christmas present," he said.
