Despite the Gunners’ strong start, Keown believes it is too early to declare Arsenal a title contender.
On BT-Sport he said ( via Metro ):
“It’s a fantastic run Arsenal are on at the moment. I really enjoyed the character and personality they showed tonight.”
“It’s step by step with this Arsenal team. It’s so early in the season, it’s ridiculous [to call them title contenders]. It’s a new team but hopefully it’s the start of something special.”
