Arsenal Fumbles Lead: Title Hopes Tarnish
19 Feb
Summary
- Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead against bottom club Wolves.
- The draw gave Manchester City a chance to close the gap.
- Arsenal's recent form shows dropped points from winning positions.
Arsenal has drawn with Wolves, failing to extend their lead over Manchester City in the Premier League title race. The Gunners squandered a two-goal advantage, a result previously unseen in Premier League history for a team at the top against a side in the relegation zone.
This draw, following recent slips against Manchester United and Brentford, raises concerns about Arsenal's ability to secure the title. Despite holding a points lead, their recent form of securing only 10 points from the last 21 available has kept Manchester City in contention.
The upcoming match between Arsenal and Manchester City on April 18/19 is increasingly looking like a pivotal moment in the title race. Both teams have shown vulnerability, making the title one that seemingly "no one wants to win."
A contributing factor to Arsenal's dropped points appears to be a lack of a consistent, reliable goalscorer upfront. The team has struggled to put away opponents decisively, often winning by narrow margins, which has allowed teams like Wolves and Brentford to stay in games and snatch points.
