Petr Cech believes Arsenal can still contend for the title, with the goalkeeper saying the win at Burnley on Sunday can be pivotal to their season.
Alexis Sánchez’s 92nd-minute penalty gave Arsène Wenger’s team a victory that lifted them into fourth place on 25 points, one ahead of Tottenham Hotspur. They are 12 points behind the leaders, Manchester City, yet Cech has not ruled out Arsenal competing for the championship.
“You have to play game by game, not think too much about what’s going on around you because if you win your game then you give yourself a chance,” he said.“Let’s win our game and see how the others are doing. If the other teams at this moment above us keep going, keep winning, then you can’t catch them, but first you need to win your games and keep putting pressure on them.
“It’s only 13 games in, that’s the most important thing and there’s so many points to be won. You need to carry on for 38 games and show consistency. There can be plenty of twists in the table and you see yourselves climb after two wins then have a draw and fall out of the top four pretty quick. It’s packed in there and I think it will be until the end of the season.”
