Ex-Premier League referee explains why Ruben Dias wasn't sent off vs Arsenal in Ben White clash

Arsenal's Premier League title challenge took another setback as they lost 4-1 against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring for City before John Stones doubled their lead before half-time.

De Bruyne grabbed his second and the reigning champions' third goal of the game in the second half before Rob Holding grabbed a late consolation goal. Erling Haaland completed the rout as he broke the Premier League record for most goals (33) in a 38-game season.

Mikel Arteta's side failed to offer any significant threat against City as their lead at the top of the table was cut down to just two points. Pep Guardiola's side are now in pole position to win the Premier League title as they have two games in hand - that could see them move four points clear of Arsenal if they win both fixtures.
