Ally McCoist is confident that Arsenal will be a strong contender in the Premier League title race following their dominant victory over Chelsea.

LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 23: Ben White of Arsenal celebrates with teammates Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka after scoring his side’s second goal during the Premier League match between Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC at Emirates Stadium on April 23, 2024 in London.

In a stunning display of dominance, Arsenal crushed Chelsea 5-0 in a thrilling Premier League clash on Tuesday night. This victory has left sports pundit Ally McCoist convinced that the Gunners have what it takes to compete until the very end of the title race.

Ben White and Kai Havertz both netted braces, while Leandro Trossard added another goal to secure Arsenal’s biggest-ever win over their London rivals. With this triumph, Mikel Arteta’s men have now surged three points clear at the top of the table, leaving Liverpool trailing behind.

This resounding win comes on the back of Arsenal’s recent 2-0 triumph over Wolves, which helped erase the bitter memories of their defeat to Aston Villa and their UEFA Champions League quarter-final exit to Bayern Munich.

Reflecting on Arsenal’s recent form, TNT Sports co-commentator McCoist stated, “Let’s be honest, we were all asking a couple of questions a week ago. It’s no disgrace getting beaten by Aston Villa, who have beaten Arsenal twice this year. They also beat Manchester City. You can argue that Bayern Munich have not had their finest team in years, but they’re still Bayern Munich and are a very good side.”

McCoist continued, “They recovered very well at the weekend against Wolves, but tonight, if there were any doubts at all, they’ve put them to bed. They’re here to stay and they can go on and win it. There’s no reason why they can’t go on and win it. They might need one or two hiccups elsewhere, but that performance tells me that they can win it.”

With Arsenal’s victory, the pressure now falls on Liverpool and Manchester City in their upcoming matches. Jurgen Klopp’s side has the opportunity to level on points with Arsenal if they secure a win in the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday, although their goal difference remains significantly lower. On the other hand, Pep Guardiola’s men can reclaim their position at the top of the table if they defeat Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Thursday.

Looking ahead, Arsenal’s next challenge is a highly anticipated north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. This clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two fierce rivals, and Arsenal will be eager to maintain their winning streak and solidify their position at the top of the Premier League.

In conclusion, Arsenal’s emphatic victory over Chelsea has sent a clear message to their competitors – they are serious contenders for the Premier League title. With their recent performances, the Gunners have proven that they have the skill, determination, and resilience to go all the way. The race for the title is far from over, and Arsenal’s rivals will need to step up their game if they want to challenge the Gunners’ dominance.
