Mikel Arteta faces Aaron Ramsdale concern as Arsenal stumble in Premier League title race again

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is facing a slight concern with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale as he watched his side stumble in the Premier League title race once again. The Gunners left it late to come back and draw 3-3 against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium - moving five points clear at the top of the table.

Arsenal have now drawn their last three Premier League fixtures and have allowed Manchester City to close the gap to them. Ramsdale was at fault for the Saints' first goal inside a minute on Friday evening, playing a loose pass to Carlos Alcaraz before he fired the ball into the back of the Gunners' net.

Defensive errors cost Arsenal all three points against West Ham last weekend as Thomas Partey was dispossessed cheaply before Gabriel Magalhaes took down Said Benrahma and conceded a penalty - which was then converted by the Hammers forward. Ramsdale was faultless in the 2-2 draw at Anfield earlier this month but now find themselves under serious pressure in the title race.
