Former French defender Bacary Sagna has suggested that Arsenal’s inability to beat Fulham this season could be the reason they miss out on winning the Premier League title.
The Gunners drew 2-2 with Marco Silva’s side at the Emirates Stadium and suffered a 2-1 defeat at Craven Cottage.
Additionally, Arsenal lost both their home and away matches against Aston Villa this season.

However, Sagna believes it’s the points dropped in the games against Fulham that may have dealt the biggest blow to his former team’s title chances.
He stated:
“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.”
