Arsenal missed the opportunity to take advantage of Manchester City dropping points on Saturday as they saw their 100% record in the Premier League this season ended at Manchester United.
Despite the defeat, Arsenal remain top but just one point ahead of City.
Birmingham City striker Troy Deeney watched the game for Match of the Day 2 and gave his thoughts on what the performance from both sides could indicate for their respective campaigns.
'Gunners still contenders for title despite loss'
A win for Arsenal would have put them four points clear at the top of the table after six games but even so, their current position is an impressive turnaround on this time last year when they were midtable and six points off the leaders.
