Gary Neville names major issue Mikel Arteta must fix fast for Arsenal to win title

Gary Neville believes Arsenal will need to tighten up defensively if they are to go on and win the Premier League title, despite their dramatic win on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta's side trailed 2-0 to Bournemouth after an hour of their game at the Emirates Stadium, but three goals in the final 30 minutes turned things around. Reiss Nelson came off the bench to score a last-gasp winner, the third time Arsenal have won a game in the final minute since the turn of the year, but Neville remained concerned by the Gunners' leakiness at the back.

Arsenal conceded just 11 goals in 14 games before the World Cup break to open up a five-point lead over closest challengers Manchester City. That margin still remains, but the Gunners have shipped 14 in 12 outings since returning to action after the mid-season break.
