Time for Arsenal to take the handbrake off: Mikel Arteta has nothing to lose anymore as Gunners chase goals in Premier League title bid

Title Race Far from Finished

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice made a point of telling his team-mates after Sunday's Premier League loss to title rivals Manchester City, "It's not done." And he was right, it's not. The title race is far from finished, as underlined by City's laboured win over Burnley on Wednesday.

Manchester City's Struggles

Pep Guardiola's men may have gone top of the table with their 1-0 victory at Turf Moor - but only on goals scored. When Erling Haaland opened the scoring after just five minutes, it looked as if City were going to build up quite the advantage over Arsenal in terms of goal difference.

  • Manchester City had 28 shots, nine of which were on target, but failed miserably to add to their tally.
