3. The title race could go down to the wire
Arsenal put in the kind of performance expected of title challengers- they came, bossed the home team around, got two quick goals and saw the game out with any major problems- a clinical display away from home. With all the teams around them winning this weekend, Arsenal needed to win or risk falling behind in the title race, and they did win.
This year, the title race promises to be one of the most closely fought ever with the top three being separated by just two points. Both Manchester City and Chelsea look unlikely to drop points and Arsenal will have to remain on their toes throughout to prevent themselves from slipping up. With Arsenal being in the lead, the title is theirs to lose this season.
