If Arsenal win the league, they won't stagger over the line, they will crawl

On Grand National day, Arsenal showed signs they could yet fall at the final fence.A win over Bournemouth would have seen Arsenal go 12 points clear, at least temporarily. At this late stage, that would have been a very healthy lead, even with Manchester City holding two games in hand.The remainder of the season might have become a procession. Instead, Arsenal were beaten 2-1, delivering a performance so disappointing it may leave them not staggering, but crawling towards the finish line. a.showcase-link-container { display: flex; gap: 20px; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; padding: 20px 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); text-decoration: none; color: #121212; cursor: pointer; .showcase-link { font-family: nyt-franklin; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: 13.8px; letter-spacing: 1.1px; text-transform: uppercase; } .showcase-link-image { border-radius: 8px; object-fit: cover; width: 200px; height: 150px; margin: 0px; @media (max-width: 600px) { width: 120px; height: 120px; } } .showcase-link-inner-content { display: flex; flex-direction: row; gap: 16px; width: 100%; } .showcase-link-text-content { display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 20px; justify-content: center; @media (max-width: 600px) { gap: 8px; } } .showcase-link-title { font-family: nyt-cheltenham; font-size: 24px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 120%; /* 24px */ letter-spacing: 0.01px; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow: hidden; display: -webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: 3; @media (max-width: 600px) { font-size: 16px; } } .showcase-link-excerpt { font-family: nyt-imperial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 139%; /* 19.46px */ color: #323232; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow: hidden; display: -webkit-box; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; -webkit-line-clamp: 4; @media (max-width: 600px) { font-size: 12px; line-heig...
