Liverpool nears Premier League title after Arsenal draw

Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, marked by defensive errors and missed opportunities, has left Liverpool on the verge of securing the Premier League title. Despite taking the lead twice through goals from Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard, Arsenal allowed Palace to equalize both times, with Jean-Philippe Mateta's late lob sealing the draw. Now 12 points behind Liverpool with only four matches remaining, Arsenal's title hopes are essentially over, and Liverpool can clinch the championship by avoiding defeat against Tottenham. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed disappointment with his team's inconsistent performance, highlighting a lack of energy and organization as key issues. The result is especially concerning for Arsenal as they prepare for their Champions League semi-final against PSG, with additional worries over injuries to key players including Mikel Merino. Arteta stressed the need for improvement ahead of their European clash, acknowledging the team fell short of their usual standards.
