Arsenal suffered a major blow to their Premier League title ambitions on Wednesday with a 4-1 defeat at Manchester City. The loss means the Gunners are now only two points ahead of the champions.

Kevin De Bruyne dominated the headlines with another world-class performance against the north Londoners. The Belgian playmaker scored twice and assisted John Stones' header to send Pep Guardiola's men on their way.

The destination of the title is now out of Arsenal's hands with Man City having two games in hand. Despite the loss, Mikel Arteta remained upbeat about his side's chances of making history.
