But when asked if Arsenal were out of the title frame after Wednesday’s defeat, former Gunners goalkeeper Seaman said: “All that happened this week was that we lost one extra point to Leicester”.
Arsenal are the only side in the top three to have gone through the highs and lows of a title race in recent seasons, but Pochettino dismissed the theory that experience could be decisive.
