A fresh insight into the probability of Arsenal winning the Premier League title has been provided, on the back of the club’s disappointing stalemate with Southampton.
Mikel Arteta’s troops were of course back in action a short time ago.
Fresh off a pair of disappointing draws with Liverpool and West Ham United, the Gunners welcomed bottom-of-the-table Southampton to north London, desperate for a return to winning ways.
When all was said and done, however, Arsenal, just, failed to get the job done.
Despite battling back from a pair of two-goal deficits to level things up with 90 minutes on the clock, a crucial 4th goal evaded the hosts at the last, en route to an eventual 3-3 stalemate.
