Arsenal originally had a great situation in the Premier League this season, and was expected to win the league title after 19 years of itch, but it was a sad record that Arsenal frequently lost points at the end of the season, and was overtaken by Manchester City to win the title, according to the OPTA statistics, Arsenal was ranked on the top of the table for 248 days in the season, and it became the team that lost the title with the longest period of time sitting on the top of the table in the history of England's top league.
Arsenal started the season by winning 9 of their first 10 league matches, which was a clear indication of what was to come. Apart from a small slump in February when they lost 3 consecutive matches, the biggest blow must have been the downward spiral into April, when they went through 3 consecutive draws and then suffered a 1-4 defeat at the feet of Manchester City, which in other words means that they lost 9 points in 4 matches.
