Ex-Newcastle United striker, Alan Shearer, is still tipping Arsenal to win the Premier League title.
Shearer was speaking after the Gunners beat his former club 1-0 on Saturday.
Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the match in the first half.
It was a tense affair at the Emirates, as Arsenal went three points clear of Manchester City, who has a game in hand.
But Shearer is still confident they will end up as champions this season.
He said: “I’m telling you, I still believe Arsenal can win this Premier League title, and anyone who thinks this race is over because of what happened at the Etihad is making a huge mistake.
“What impressed me the most is Arsenal themselves. Look at today against us (Newcastle United).
“Everyone doubted them, people were questioning their mentality, saying the pressure had gotten to them, but they responded exactly how title contenders should. The energy, the intensity, the hunger, it was all there. They didn’t let Newcastle settle for a second.
“That tells me everything I need to know. Mentally, they’re still right there.”
