Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has claimed that the title race will be ‘really tight’, after the Gunners moved up to second in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium.
Goals from Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell and the Welshman himself secured all three points for the north London side, who are now just two points off the lead, behind Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City.
Ramsey believes that as the season progresses, the race for the Premier League title will get even tighter and is glad Arsenal were able to make up ground on their opponents.
Yes it was very important to get the win after losing one game and drawing another and it was important to get back to winning ways and close the gap on the top and it was nice to do it at home in front of the fans.
It is really close at the moment. Teams are taking points off each other so it is going to be tight all the way through and it is important to keep ourselves in the race for this busy time and into the New Year and it was a good way to start ahead of December.
With both Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin out injured for some time, the 24-year-old was moved into his preferred central role and admitted he feels much more comfortable there.
It felt really good today. I feel a lot more comfortable and it suited my game a lot better, I could time my runs into the box and get on the end of things and I could have had two or three goals but at the end of the day I’m happy.
Ramsey then discussed the league leaders Leicester City, who sit top of the Premier League after 15 games and a convincing 3-0 win over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
It is quite a surprise Leicester are there but full credit to them, they have been exceptional but it is important for ourselves and what we have done today.
