Ian Wright reveals the one key area Mikel Arteta and Arsenal got right with Erling Haaland call

Ian Wright has claimed that despite Erling Haaland's incredible goalscoring record, Arsenal have an advantage over their title rivals heading into the home straight. Manchester City could move to within one point of the Gunners if they were to win their games in hand ahead of the crunch meeting between the two sides next week.

With 32 goals in 28 league games Haaland has scored more than eight teams have this season even though he has played fewer games. Even with his extreme and record-breaking exploits, Arsenal only have four goals less than Pep Guardiola's side having one game more.

Instead, Arteta has three players - Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard - with more than 10 goals, Gabriel Jesus has nine in 17 starts with five assists. Whereas at City their goals are coming through a concentrated source. This season only Haaland has made it into double figures.
