What Arsenal Must Do To Win EPL Title After Draw With Southampton – Carragher
Former Liverpool captain, Jamie Carragher has explained what Arsenal must do to win the English Premier League, EPL title.
Carragher said Arsenal must go to Manchester City and take all three points on Wednesday if they are to win the title.
Recall that Arsenal saw their title hope take a hit following a 3-3 draw with Southampton on Friday night.
The Gunners went two goals down to the Saints, thanks to goals from Carlos Alcaraz and Theo Walcott.
But Gabriel Martinelli pulled one back for Arteta’s men.
Duje Caleta-Car then extended Southampton’s lead from a corner kick, before goals from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka earned a point for Arsenal.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Carragher said: “You can feel the disappointment. It was such a great game for the neutrals but for both teams, it will be disappointing.
“Arsenal have to go to City and get three points to win the league now I think.
“It is still in Arsenal’s hands and that shows how far ahead they were. They are going to have to do something miraculous now. It is going to have to be really special.”
The result leaves the league leaders five points ahead of Manchester City, who they face at the Etihad next Wednesday.
Despite dropping points in recent away games at Liverpool and West Ham, Arsenal started Friday’s game as overwhelming favorites to beat Southampton, who were bottom of the table.
Arsenal are still five points above second-placed City but Pep Guardiola’s team have played two matches fewer.
City’s next EPL fixture is against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
