Keane has now tipped them to give the champions a run for their money.
“Last year, Arsenal proved to be the best of the rest and I think they are probably the strongest group amongst the other teams at this moment in time.
“I still think the gap to Man City is there, but this is a big win for them.
“The momentum, spirit and quality it gives them. The feel-good factor is with Arsenal.
“If they had dropped points today, I think it would have been a huge step back for them.
“However, it’s chalk and cheese with the result against Fulham and they have a big spring in their step now,” Keane said.
