"That’s how I see" - Theo Walcott makes big Arsenal claims as Manchester City gain Premier League title advantage 

Southampton forward Theo Walcott has hailed Arsenal as the best team in the Premier League despite the Gunners losing their title advantage to Manchester City.

Walcott scored one goal and played 77 minutes for the Saints as Ruben Selles' side secured a 3-3 draw against Mikel Arteta's side, providing a major blow to the Gunner's title hopes.

The former England international spent more than a decade on the books of Arsenal and heaped praise on the north London side following the game.

Southampton were thumped 4-1 by Manchester City two weeks ago but Walcott insisted that the Gunners are a better side compared to the Cityzens. He told NBC Sports, as quoted by Metro:

"Arsenal are just incredible. We played Man City the other week and I thought Arsenal were way better than them. That’s how I see Arsenal at the moment. We can take a lot of positives from this game because they [Arsenal] are the best team in this league at this moment in time."

Mikel Arteta's side find themselves on the backfoot in the title race after dropping six points in their last three games.

The north Londonders drew against both Liverpool and West Ham United prior to their stalemate against the Saints.

The Gunners are now five points ahead of Manchester City, who have two games in hand and will take on Mikel Arteta’s side at the Etihad on Wednesday night.
