If Arsenal win the next three rounds, they will win the title, Gunners icon thinks
The Premier League has turned into the final third and Arsenal remain in the lead. The first major crisis has been resolved and the last four rounds have been won. Even if its fans took a few years off their lives.
The Premier League has turned into the final third and Arsenal remain in the lead. The first major crisis has been resolved and the last four rounds have been won. Even if its fans took a few years off their lives.
The last 14 days have been very hectic for Arsenal. At Aston Villa’s ground, they were down from the fifth minute, and after equalising they scored at 1:2, yet they persevered to the end and broke the game in their favour in the set-up.
After that, the Gunners fought back to a 1: 0 triumph at Leicester after Leandro Trossard’s incomprehensibly called back goal and beat Everton 4: 0 at home. A home formality with Bournemouth was to follow, but it turned into a fight to the last seconds.
“When Senesi increased it to 2: 0 to Bournemouth, you would have thought Arsenal would come out of it with a draw at best. But Thomas Partey and Ben White equalised and Reiss Nelson made the difference with a superb goal,” Paul Merson summed up Saturday’s game for Sky Sports.
Arsenal conceded in the ninth second of the game, Philip Billings’ shot going down in the annals of the Premier League as the second fastest. The favourite’s early goal had an impact, with his combinations uncharacteristically sluggish in the first half.
After the second goal scored in the 57th minute, Mikel Arteta showed calm, calm. And the Gunners really stuck to their style, reducing four minutes later, equalising in the 70th, and despite the referee not whistling two blatant penalties, the Gunners really turned the tide in the 97th minute.
“They’re going to win the league. They simply go for it and don’t care if they lose. Now they have won four in a row, but remember how they were before – three times in a row they didn’t win,” continued the former Arsenal striker.
Arsenal kept their five-point lead over second-placed Manchester City with the triumph, but more importantly, they gained a huge psychological boost with the set-up win. Ironically, points like this are the most pleasing.
In addition, the Gunners enjoyed a comfortable draw. In addition to the Europa League, Arsenal will challenge Fulham away and Crystal Palace at home before the break. At the start of April, Arsenal will warm up against Leeds, after which the toughest passage of the year will come.
“They are excellent and the next three games will be defining for me. If they win them, they will win the title,” Merson added.
