Two games, two two-goal leads, four points dropped. Arsenal head into Friday's match against Southampton with fingers being pointed firmly in their direction after a costly seven days in the Premier League title race.
Have Mikel Arteta’s side just let the title slip from their grasp? Are they ‘bottling it’, as so many seem to be taking great delight in suggesting?

Ultimately, time will tell. Arsenal have seven games of this remarkable season remaining. Win them all and the Premier League trophy will take pride of place at Emirates Stadium for the next 12 months.
Slip up again, however, especially in their huge game at Manchester City next week, and Pep Guardiola’s side will once again be in the driving seat as they look to retain the title they have claimed for the past two seasons.
