Manchester City’s 2–1 victory over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon saw the Gunners’ lead at the Premier League’s summit trimmed to three points.
Billed as a ’title showdown’ the English top flight has seldom enjoyed in years, City knew that only three points would do the trick. A positive result for Arsenal would’ve all but confirmed their first conquest of the division since the ’Invincibles’ were around 22 years ago, but they were ultimately undone by Erling Haaland’s second-half strike.
