During their game against Wolves on Wednesday, the Arsenal fans decided to remind their fierce rivals of their current predicament.
Arsenal fans sing about Tottenham being relegated
Wolves produced a dramatic comeback on Wednesday to salvage a point after finding themselves 2-0 down with an hour played.
It was a bitter blow to Arsenal’s title hopes as it means that Man City are now just five points away from them with a game in hand.
Just before the home side’s dramatic comeback, the travelling Arsenal fans at the Molineux Stadium broke into chants of ‘You’re going down with Tottenham’, according to BBC Sport.
The bottom-placed club had the last laugh with Tom Edozie scoring a stoppage-time equaliser, which left the Gunners fans and players demoralised.
Spurs can take hope from Arsenal’s result against Wolves
The fact that Wolves managed to fight back from two goals down to secure a draw demonstrates a mental fragility with this Arsenal side and shows Tottenham that Mikel Arteta’s side are far from invincible.
