The Title Race Is Still On, Ex-Harambee Stars Striker Says After Arsenal Rediscovering Form

• Arsenal have enjoyed an incredible turn of form since September that has seen them go 10 matches without defeat
• The Gunners have in the process racked up 20 points to leapfrog rivals Man United to fifth on the EPL standings
• With a section of fans already claiming the north Londoners could be in the mix for the title race, Ambani has insisted Arteta's men must first strive to beat top teams

Former Harambee Stars striker Boniface Ambani has suggested the Premier League title race has only started following Arsenal's revival.

The Gunners have enjoyed a fine run of results since the start of September and are yet to taste defeat across competitions.

Mikel Arteta's charges secured a vital 1-0 win over struggling Watford in their last outing, with the result firing them to fifth on the log with 20 points.

Arsenal kicked off their campaign on a frustrating note as they suffered three consecutive defeats in their opening fixtures.

However, the Emirates outfit have since turned around their fortunes and racked up an impressive 20 points to leapfrog Man United on the standings.

So incredible they have been that there are just two points separating them and fourth-placed Liverpool who have widely been backed to challenge for the title.

The north Londoners' turn of form has sparked suggestions the side could find themselves in the mix for the title race.

But according to Ambani, Arteta's men must strive to beat the top teams if they are to be considered serious contenders for the domestic title.

"Arsenal real tests is when playing top teams. That is the only time you can gauge them. Winning against lesser teams does not win you titles," Ambani told TUKO.co.ke

However, he was quick to insist the title race is still open with 11 matches already played.

"The league is still on. Let's watch," he added.
