Former Arsenal defender , Bacary Sagna has suggested that Arsenal’s aspirations for the Premier League title might have been dashed due to their failure to secure victories against Fulham.
The Gunners were held to a 2-2 draw against Marco Silva’s side at the Emirates Stadium and suffered a 2-1 defeat at Craven Cottage.
In addition to their setbacks against Fulham, Mikel Arteta’s team also faced defeats home and away against Aston Villa this season.
Sagna believes that the matches against Fulham could be the defining moments that cost his former club the title.
He said: “It’s difficult to explain what Arsenal need to do to win the league – they have the quality in every single position. They’ve been consistent and they’re having a great season.
“The only thing they might regret is losing to Fulham away and drawing at home.
“For me, that was a turning point – they dropped important points in those two games. Arsenal are a top team, but they ended up losing and drawing games they should’ve won. They’ve been more mature, but those games will cost them a lot.”
