PUTTING IN ARD YARDS

Arsenal need a miracle but Trossard and co keep up the hard work to push Reds all the way

- MIKE WALTERS

SAVIOURS are traditionally celebrated on Easter Day, so let's hear it for Leandro Trossard.

As Arsenal liberated the title race from the OBE nobody wanted to see - Over By Easter two-goal Trossard led their defiance.

To catch Liverpool, the Gunners will still not only have to roll away the stone but push it uphill in a wheelbarrow.

But at Portman Road, the temple where Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson procured miracles, Mikel Arteta's perennial runners-up were resolutely professional when they could have been forgiven for taking their foot off the gas.

In a memorable concession to agnostics and heathens, Arsenal became the first club to play on Easter Day three years in a row.

All Arteta's eggs were in one basket long before the Gunners parked their combine harvesters on the Tractor Boys' ranch - it's Champions League or bust for Arsenal.
