Aston Villa<\/a> are now facing the threat of losing out on Oscar Mingueza to Arsenal<\/a> this summer, with the Gunners entering talks to sign the defender.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With six games left to play in the Premier League<\/a>, Bournemouth have just blown the title race wide open by shocking Arsenal at the Emirates. The Gunners, meanwhile, have been left in an undeniable panic after making it three defeats in their last four games in all competitions.<\/p>\n Alex Scott’s goal could prove to be all important by the time that May arrives. The midfielder’s effort secured three points for the Cherries and left Arsenal sitting nine points clear of Manchester City, who have two games in hand on Mikel Arteta<\/a>‘s side to play. Should results go their way, the Citizens will be level on points with their rivals.<\/p>\n Even Arteta couldn’t hide from what the result could mean, telling reporters<\/a> at full-time: “The second half you expect a different game. We did a lot of strange things today. We have been very consistent. This can happen, this is football.”<\/em><\/p>\n On whether the players are hurting, he added: “A lot. It has to hurt. They have to take it on the chin. You stand up and go for the fight or you’re out. It’s a big week. A lot at stake. We’re still in a good position in both competitions.”<\/em><\/p>\n \n Arteta admits “a lot at stake” in strange Arsenal display<\/strong>
