'Gift wrapping the title' - National media react to Arsenal draw vs Southampton amid title worry

Arsenal were dealt yet another blow to their Premier League title hopes on Friday with a 3-3 draw with Southampton. The result is the third consecutive game that the Gunners have dropped points after back-to-back draws with Liverpool and West Ham.

The point extends their lead over Manchester City at the top of the table to four points, though Pep Guardiola's now have two games in hand. Wednesday's clash between the two sides looks set to be a winner-takes-all fixture.

There will be positives to take from the contest in the capital, with Mikel Arteta's men showing incredible fight to rescue a draw in the dying minutes. Goals from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka in the 88th and 90th minute were enough to salvage a point after falling 3-1 down.
