Arsenal break 15-year record with unwanted repeat of history in Man City title clash defeat

Arsenal set a new date for an unwanted Premier League record in their defeat to Manchester City which could prove fatal to their title hopes. The Gunners headed into the clash with their momentum built up over the last few months dissipating after three successive draws, with two coming after Mikel Arteta's side had gone two goals ahead.

In recent weeks, the Gunners have not looked like the team that have reigned at the top of the league for the majority of the season. The back injury suffered by William Saliba now looks to be severely affecting the Gunners, with his absence causing a number of traits that made the team so good tactically, no longer in play.

The frantic draw against Liverpool in isolation was a point gained, especially with the onslaught the Arsenal goal received in the second half. However, the two draws that followed were detrimental blows to the Gunners hopes of winning the title.
