Mikel Arteta must solve clear Arsenal Emirates Stadium issue after huge role in title collapse

Only Leeds United and Southampton have conceded more home goals than Arsenal this season. The latter earned a 3-3 draw at the Emirates on Friday - a crushing blow to the Gunners’ title hopes.

Rock-bottom Southampton arrived in North London fighting for their lives and were unlucky not to leave with all three points. Arsenal twice found themselves trailing by two goals, with last-gasp strikes from Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka sparing their blushes.

Both sides were ultimately left feeling deflated at the full-time whistle as the result had repercussions at both ends of the table. The Gunners blew their chance to move seven points clear of Manchester City ahead of the mouthwatering clash at the Etihad next Wednesday.
