Arsenal find themselves looking back at what could have been as their Premier League title race looks to have been run. The 3-0 home defeat to Brighton almost sealed their fate as Mikel Arteta’s side ran out of steam and in some departments, players.
Injuries to Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba and Thomas Partey at different points and periods throughout the season have proven costly to the Gunners’ cause.
