Sunderland pushed Arsenal all the way at The Emirates on Sunday to
give the Gunners the sternest test of their title-winning potential
so far. But Blak Cats' manager Roy Keane does not think they'll be
champions come May.
Arsenal recovered well from the shock of losing a a two-goal lead
at home to Sunderland to win 3-2 and maintain their lead at the top
of the table.
Robin Van Persie, who had scored the opener, found a late winner to
preserve Arsenal's 100 per cent home record, enbling them to
leap-frog Manchester United back into first place with a game in
hand over the Red Devils.
Sunderland manager Roy Keane was impressed - but only so far.
Asked after the match if, having seen them at close quarters, there
was anyone better than Arsenal in the Prenier League, Keane
replied: "Yes, I think so. There's one team."
And perhaps not surprisingly, ex-Manchester United skipper Keane
believes his old side will be the ones celebrating the title again
next May.
Keane said: I think its shaping up to be the same old title race
between United and Arsenal but Id still take United at the end of
it.
Arsenal deserved to win but I think United will have the edge.
Thats just my personal opinion.
I just think United are just a touch ahead."
