Odegaard makes Arsenal Premier League title admission after Man City win
Arsenal were beaten 3-0 by Brighton at the Emirates which leaves City now needing just one win from their last three matches to lift the title
Martin Odegaard has conceded Arsenal have ‘no hope’ left in the Premier League title race after the 3-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side now sit four point adrift of City having played a game more, meaning the Premier League champions now need just one win from their final three matches to lift a third successive crown. They could even have it wrapped up before they are next in action against Chelsea in seven days time if Arsenal are beaten at Nottingham Forest less than 24 hours earlier.
Arsenal have exceeded all expectations to push City as far as they have in the race for the title, but will be left with only disappointment after dropping a number of points to relinquish top spot in recent weeks. Speaking to Sky Sports immediately after the game, captain Odegaard admitted it ‘feels’ as though their push is now over.
He said: “Yeah, it feels like that. It’s going to be very difficult now, to be honest, so it’s a tough one to take. It’s not a good feeling at the moment, the way we played – especially in the second half – I don’t know what happened to be honest but it’s a big, big disappointment. It feels like there is no hope now.”
