Arsenal were well and truly beaten at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening. Four goals from three goal scorers: Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones and Erling Haaland was more than enough to put the Gunners away and perhaps their title challenge to rest.
Of course, Arsenal remain top of the table by two points but the two games in hand give Man City the chance of a four-point swing in their favour should they beat West Ham at home and Brighton away. Mikel Arteta’s side have faced their title rivals three times, twice in the league and once in the FA Cup, and have been deservedly beaten in them all.
It has been a demonstration of the gap that exists between City and Arsenal. Although a title challenge was a surprise this season, the cracks have opened up for Arsenal in the lead-up to this clash and it showed.
