Leaders Arsenal dropped more points in their pursuit of a first Premier League title since 2004 after being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Brentford on Saturday, while Tottenham Hotspur's winning run was ended abruptly at Leicester City.
The visitors got their deserved point through Ivan Toney, who pounced in the 72nd minute to head in Christian Norgaard's cross. Only Harry Kane has netted more away goals in the Premier League this season than the Brentford striker.
"Winning is about small margins," Arteta told Premier League productions. "I thought the team still had a good performance today. Yet the hosts quickly turned the match on its head, with Nampalys Mendy hammering home a 23rd-minute equaliser, before James Maddison completed the turnaround two minutes later.
Spurs remain fifth, one point off the top four having played two games more than Newcastle United in fourth, with Eddie Howe's side in action against Bournemouth later on Saturday. Despite their record January transfer window outlay, Chelsea cannot buy a victory at the moment after they stretched their winless league run to three matches with their draw at West Ham, leaving them ninth in the table.
