Arsenal will have to win all of their five remaining games to have a chance of winning the Premier League title after being unable to compete with Manchester City, Mikel Arteta conceded.
Arsenal arrived at the Etihad on Wednesday with a five-point lead over City, albeit having played two games more, but missed the chance to extend that lead to eight as they produced a lacklustre performance against a rampant Blues side. City's 4-1 win means they are now two points behind Arsenal and can leapfrog the leaders with their two games more to play.
In a contest that was hotly contested at times, with some strong challenges, flashpoints between players, and plenty of needle, Arteta said that City were deserved winners, but refused to concede the title and told City that plenty can change in the final month of the season.
