Wenger: we were only one game from title win

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger believes his side were “one game away” from being champions this season.

Mathematically, his side can still lift the title, but they would need to claim six points from their two remaining games and rely on the unlikely outcome of both Manchester United and Chelsea losing theirs.

The Gunners topped the table for six months of the campaign, but a controversial last-minute Birmingham penalty in the 2-2 draw in late February was followed by a miserable March which saw them surrender a healthy lead at the summit, dropping nine points out of a possible 15.
