Arsenal missed
the chance to close the gap on Premier
League leaders—
Arsenal’s rapidly
deteriorating season
took another blow.
Arsenal—could
only earn a point as their Premier League title
aspirations were dented.
Arsenal’s Premier
League title aspirations suffered
a significant setback.
Arsenal kept
up the pressure—and maintained
their title hopes.
Arsenal’s title
hopes were left hanging
by a thread.
Arsenal’s Premier
League title hopes were dealt
another devastating blow—
Arsenal’s Premier
League title challenge is all but over after
they lost to a last minute goal—
Arsenal blew
the Premier League title race
wide open.
Stoke extinguished
Arsenal’s Premier League title dream
with a deserved win at the Britannia stadium.
