Arsenal's Premier League title chances suffered a major blow on Wednesday night as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.
Kevin De Bruyne capitalised on an error from Takehiro Tomiyasu to give the away side the lead in the first half before Bukayo Saka equalised from the penalty spot shortly before half-time. However, after the break City showed why they have won four of the last five league titles, turning it up a gear as goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland secured all three points for Pep Guardiola and co.
That result means that City have now gone above the Gunners for the first time in nearly six months, something that greatly impacted the mood in the home team's dressing room, according to the Independent. Their report claims that by the time Mikel Arteta returned from his post-match media duties, the mood was 'down', with players barely saying a word.
