Arsenal’s Ramsey remains upbeat about title chances

Arsenal’s draw with Bournemouth may be a major blow to their title hopes but midfielder Aaron Ramsey has warned their rivals they will not give up hope of a first Premier League title in 13 years.

The Gunners trailed 3-0 at Bournemouth on Tuesday, as goals from Charlie Daniels, Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser put them firmly in control.

But Arsenal staged a dramatic late comeback as Alexis Sanchez, Lucas Perez and Olivier Giroud all scored to earn the Gunners a valuable point.

The result left Arsenal eight points off league leaders Chelsea before they played Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.

And though Ramsey knows it is going to be hard to reel the Blues in, he believes the title race is far from over.

“We’re prepared to fight until the end. That’s the message we hope to give out, but it’s going to be difficult now,” he said.

“We’re a few points behind but there’s a long way to go, so hopefully there’ll still be a few more twists and turns.

“Overall, we’re pleased with the character we showed but we’re still disappointed.”
