And now Manchester City have emerged as the biggest contender to defend their title after returning to the top, but Arteta says the defeat hasn’t dampened his players’ ambitions.
“We’re still not happy, we’re still upset and we want more,” Arteta said ahead of Tuesday’s home game against Chelsea.
With five matches remaining for Arsenal and six for Manchester City, Arteta insisted “a lot is going to happen” in the title race.
City are top of the table again after a 2-1 win at Fulham on Sunday moved them one point clear of Arsenal, who have led the table for 247 nights this season and can lead the race on Tuesday with a win on Chelsea.
