<p>Arsenal suffered a huge blow in the Premier League title race on Sunday as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-vs-aston-villa-david-raya-leandro-trossard-gabriel-jesus/bltb2b03b61248c8a19" target="_blank">went down 2-0 against Aston Villa</a> at Emirates Stadium. The loss brought the Gunners down to the second position as they find themselves two points adrift of league leaders Manchester City. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>British Television personality and journalist Piers Morgan, who is a vocal Arsenal supporter, took to X to respond to a fan's question as he claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo could have scored "25-plus goals a season" had Mikel Arteta brought him to north London. He also pointed out that the manager's failure to sign a top goal-scoring striker this season has been a "major blindspot" for the club.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Morgan had initially posted on X regarding Arsenal "choking" yet again in exasperation, to which a fan cheekily wrote: "Ask your Ronaldo to come help!"</p><p>Quoting that X post, Morgan responded: "I think @Cristiano would score 25+ goals a season in our team with the service he’d get. Arteta’s refusal to prioritise a top striker is his one major blindspot."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I think <a href="https://twitter.com/Cristiano?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Cristiano</a> would score 25+ goals a season in our team with the service he’d get.

WHAT PIERS MORGAN SAID

<p>The Gunners, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Bayern Munich at the Emirates in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie last week, will now try to register a win away from home against the Bundesliga giants on Wednesday to secure a place in the last-four stage.</p>
