Gabriel Jesus Lists 2 Reasons Why Arsenal’s Title Bid Is Crumbling

• Arsenal dropped points for the third consecutive time on Friday night when they were held to a 3-3 draw against Southampton
• The damaging draw put a dent in the Gunners' hopes of lifting the Premier League title at the end of the season
• Arsenal are scheduled to face Manchester City, who have two games in hand, in their next outing

Gabriel Jesus has pointed out two key reasons why Arsenal's title bid is crumbling despite their bright start to the campaign.

The Gunners had emerged as the firm favourites to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title this term after an incredible run of form under Mikel Arteta.

However, that dream is about to come down crashing after Arteta's men dropped points in three of their most recent fixtures.

The north Londoners have suffered three damaging draws in all those matches, with the most recent ending in a 3-3 epic draw at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

The Sun reports Arsenal had to come from two goals down to secure the point after Carlos Alcaraz and Theo Walcott handed the Saints an early lead.

The result still has the Gunners topping the charts with a five-point advantage, with only six games left to end the season.

However, Man City do have an edge over them as they have two games in hand, with both teams also scheduled to face off at the Etihad in what has been touted as a potential title decider.

Why Arsenal's title bid is crumbling

Jesus, who has won the Premier League title on four occasions, has now assessed Arsenal's title bid as the season enters a critical stage.

Speaking after Arsenal's draw against Southampton, the Brazilian striker highlighted two key reasons why the north Londoners have stuttered in recent weeks.

According to the former Man City striker, lack of experience and focus has contributed to Arsenal's recent struggles.

"We are the youngest team in the league, not making excuses. Sometimes we do right and sometimes we do wrong, everyone can make mistakes that is why it is so important to stick together," he told Sky Sports.

"We dropped a little bit of our level and focus, this is the Premier League, it is so difficult to win this competition," he added.
