Gabriel Jesus has claimed the absence of William Saliba had a major effect on Arsenal's season as they ended up losing out to Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
The Gunners finished second, five points behind eventual champions City. But, at one point, the title looked like Arsenal's to lose. Following their 4-1 victory over Leeds on April 1, Mikel Arteta's side were eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Although City had one game in hand, Arsenal still seemed the team to beat and were on a roll at that point, having won six league matches in a row. However, the Gunners collapsed, picking up just 12 points from their remaining nine matches which didn't end up being enough to win their first title since 2004.
