The hopes of the Arsenal title have ended, what happens?
Arsenal has had a bit of luck absolutely rotten with injuries this season, but surely this was a lost opportunity.
Northern London giants simply did not do enough in January or January and now pay the price, as Liverpool went to the title.
One imagines the tastes of Manchester City and Chelsea will only improve next season, so the arsenal is not guaranteed that the main contestants are again next year.
AFC still has the Champions League to play for this season, but it will be a great demand for them to obtain the types of results and performances they want until they return Saka and Martinelli.
