Former player Jamie Carragher thinks that Arsenal and Man City's chances of winning the title are now 50/50, although Arteta's army has a greater advantage on the rankings at the moment.
Arsenal seemed to have fallen into big trouble when they let Bournemouth lead by 2 goals at the Emirates. However, the London team went back to their emotions and won 3-2 with a goal in the last minute of injury time of the match.
This result helps Arsenal maintain a 5-point gap at the top of the table before Man City. After Nelson's goal, the Emirates Stadium exploded with wild celebrations. And Jamie Carragher thinks Arsenal fans have every reason to be elated by the win as it could be a pivotal turning point of the season.

"I've always had the feeling that if you want to win the league, you have to score late goals. But what surprised me was the quality of the goals.
I was in the car at the time, and I celebrated too! If Arsenal win the Premier League, Reiss Nelson will become a legend of the team. Steve Bruce's goals (when Man United won their first Premier League title) are still being talked about at this time.
When Man City scored a last-minute goal, we said they had 'great guts'. But with Arsenal the story was 'oh, they didn't play well, they had to score in the last minute because they weren't playing well before'. But this story will soon be changed if Arsenal win the Premier League. We'll talk about them differently next season."
Carragher thinks the chance for Arsenal to win the title this season is 50% when they have to compete with a strong opponent like Man City.
“I've been cheering for Arsenal recently. I really think this race is 50/50. I think Arsenal need the score gap they have against Man City. I think Man City is stronger in many positions. They also have options on the bench to change the game. I think Arsenal need to enter the international break with a similar point gap to keep hope."
