Man City defender Aymeric Laporte makes Premier League title race joke after Arsenal defeat

Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte joked that he can 'smell' a third straight Premier League title after seeing Arsenal lose against Brighton.

City took a major step towards the title on Sunday, opening up a four-point gap on their main rivals with a 3-0 win at Everton. An inspired Ilkay Gundogan netted two wonderful goals at Goodison Park, setting up Erling Haaland for a clinical header in between.

Pep Guardiola's side then watched on as Arsenal fell to the same scoreline at the Emirates, thanks to goals from Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan. The Gunners have just six points left to play for, with City able to confirm top spot with a win at home to Chelsea next weekend.
