Gary Neville explains why Oleksandr Zinchenko 'emotion' cost Arsenal in Premier League race

Gary Neville has outlined worrying moments involving Oleksandr Zinchenko and two other Arsenal stars he spotted that may have led to the Gunners' title collapse. The 3-0 defeat against Brighton made it 12 points dropped by Mikel Arteta's men in their last six games, which has given Manchester City a four-point lead at the top.

Three successive draws against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton came before their decisive title clash with Pep Guardiola's side. Despite a humbling defeat to the reigning champions, Arsenal got huge wins against Chelsea and Newcastle to seemingly get their title charge back on track.

Unfortunately for them, in that time City were relentless picking up maximum points which saw them return to the top of the league for the first time since mid-February.
