Bernd Leno insists Arsenal have 'turned the corner' after the club was shrouded by a 'bad atmosphere' in the autumn... but German goalkeeper admits it will be 'very, very difficult' for his side to qualify for the Champions League

Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno insists his side have 'turned the corner' in recent weeks after a horrendous run of form at the back end of 2020.

The Gunners' only Premier League victory between October 5 and Boxing Day came in a 1-0 win at Manchester United, leading the club to slip as far down as 15th in the table and well away from the European qualification spots.

But the 29-year-old Germany international has been an integral part of a side that has shown signs of marked improvement since beating Chelsea on December 26, which has seen the club ship just 15 goals in 2021 and climb into the top half of the table.
