Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has fired a brutal response to Arsenal's 3-0 defeat against Brighton at the Emirates Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League table following their 3-0 win against Everton at Goodison Park earlier today.
The Gunners had the chance to move back within a single point of City if they were to beat the Seagulls in the later kick-off this afternoon. Goals from Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan saw Arsenal suffer a huge blow to their Premier League title hopes - handing City a huge advantage.
Guardiola's side could be crowned Premier League champions for a fifth time in six years if they beat Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium next Sunday. Arsenal have just two games left to play this season, whilst City still have a game in hand on the Gunners.
