'We lacked spark' - strikers who could be 'final piece of Arsenal jigsaw'

Related Topics: Arsenal, Premier League

Arsenal's Premier League title challenge looks all but over this season, even if manager Mikel Arteta will not publicly admit it.

The second-placed Gunners are 13 points adrift of leaders Liverpool after a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest again saw the conversation centred around their lack of striking options.

In their last two Premier League matches, Arsenal have had 33 shots, but just three on target and no goals.

It is the first time since May 2023 they have failed to score in back-to-back league games, with midfielder Mikel Merino forced to play up front due to having no available strikers.
