Arsenal ‘have got to go on a Man City type run’ to win the Premier League, Jamie Redknapp insists – as pundit criticises Gunners for failing to put pressure on Liverpool in Brighton draw

Jamie Redknapp has criticised Arsenal for their showing against Brighton – insisting the Gunners ‘need to go on a Man City type run’ to win the Premier League.Arsenal dropped more points against the Seagulls on Saturday night as they drew 1-1 Amex, with Ethan Nwaneri’s second Premier League goal in vein as Joao Pedro netted a late equaliser.

They now trail Liverpool by five points, but Arne Slot’s men have two games in hand. One is against Manchester United on Sunday, while the other is versus local rivals Everton.

Against Brighton, Arsenal once again struggled to create chances from open play. They have become synonymous with relying on set pieces to score goals in recent weeks.

But that didn’t happen on Saturday, and Arsenal are relying on Liverpool dropping points if they want to finally end their 21-year Premier League title draught.

Redknapp, who formerly played for Liverpool and the Gunners arch rivals Tottenham, was pulling no punches on his analysis of the game during Sky Sports’ coverage.
