Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta delivers honest verdict on Manchester City defeat after title blow

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has admitted that the best team won on Wednesday evening as his side fell to a 4-1 defeat to Premier League title rivals Manchester City.

Goals from Kevin De Bruyne and John Stone raced the Citizens into a two-goal lead in the first-half before De Bruyne added a third shortly after the break. Erling Haaland netted his 49th goal of the season in all competitions in injury-time after Rob Holding scored a consolation.

The Gunners' lead at the top of the table is now only two points, with City having two games in hand. It's also the fourth consecutive game that Arteta's side have failed to win, with their last victory dating back to the start of the month against Leeds.
