Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal has lost the Premier League title to Manchester City, even though there is one game left in the campaign.
Arsenal and City have been neck and neck in the title race, with the Gunners challenging Pep Guardiola’s side for consecutive seasons.
Arsenal fans and players were hoping for a favour from Tottenham in their recent match to secure the title on the final day of the season.
Traditionally, Spurs have performed well against City at their stadium over the last few seasons, and there was hope that they would at least take a point off the champions.
However, City won the game 2-0, although the result could have been different.
Late in the game, with City leading by just one goal, Son Heung-min had a chance to score in a one-on-one situation.
Somehow, Stefan Ortega saved the shot, in what was an unbelievable miss. Carragher believes that moment decided the title race.
He said, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘That Son chance will become for Arsenal fans what the [Vincent] Kompany goal is for Liverpool fans.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
It was horrifying to see Son miss that chance and truly if he had found the back of the net, the situation would have been much more different for us.

Well! Son mifgt had uncharastically of himself. Missed that golden chance to equalise for his Spurs team playing at home against Man City last night.
However the Premier League title win this this season, has not yet finally been decided. As has been claimed by Jamie Carragher it had with that Son’s missed goal scoring opportunity to equalise for Spurs.
For, things in the title win race can still change to favour Arsenal. And see them to the title win at home on the final day of the season next Sunday.
I think the whole footballing world is talking about the Son, miss. I doubt he was thinking,” if I get this Arsenal could win the title” Not being a Londoner he wouldn’t have the territorial animosity in his DNA. Also he has a huge fanbase in South Korea and would not want to let them down. I’m only in speculating here but just before the 22 world cup I watched a documentary on Japanese TV, featuring Son’s father who runs a private football coaching clinic in South Korea. The man lives his life by strict Confucian principles of hard work and duty. I’m certain he would have instilled these into his son.My take is that Son has not had a very good season by his standards and the missed chance against City is the culmination of a player who is currently directionals and has had his confidence shot to pieces.
“direction less” and out of form..
I still believe arsenal will win the title..not because man city winning on Sunday but 115 FFP charges that will decide later…
Whatever the results of the 115 charges, they will have no impact on this seasons Premier League.
