'Excuses are for teams who don't win!' - Arne Slot appears to fire shots at Mikel Arteta after Liverpool beat Arsenal to Premier League title

<p>Arsenal have fallen short of the mark in the Premier League title battle for the third year running as Liverpool ran away with a title win, the Reds' 20th English top-tier title. Arteta has put out a lot of reasons for the Gunners' failure to win the league title this year, indicating that untimely injuries and wrong refereeing decisions hurt his side's chances of properly pressuring Slot's side in the title race.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Slot has now opened up on helping the Reds equal Manchester United's record as the club with the most league titles in the English top-tier, as the Dutchman also appeared to take shots at Arteta's 'excuses'.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cqxee7p5x48o" target="_blank">BBC Sport</a>, Slot talked about the challenges of leading Liverpool to the league title after taking over from Jurgen Klopp last summer. The Dutchman said: "All these excuses you could give to Liverpool... with us maybe not spending... or not bringing new players in, or taking over from someone.</p><p>"All these things are excuses for teams that don't win the league, and it's nice that if you have all these excuses, that you don't have to use them, but you still just won it."</p>

WHAT SLOT SAID

<p>Slot's side did not fully live up to the hype they had created at the start of the season as they flopped in the FA Cup and the Champions League, and lost to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final. The Dutchman will be hoping that he can improve his squad later this summer as they look to battle for all possible titles.</p>
