Man City star Joao Cancelo fires message to Gabriel Jesus after Arsenal suffer title race blow

Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo - who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich - has sent a message to Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus following the 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. The result saw the Gunners throw away a 2-0 lead as the Reds came from behind to pick up a point and hand Mikel Arteta's side a disappointing blow in their Premier League title race against City.

Pep Guardiola's side now sit just six points adrift of Arsenal, with a game in hand and potential title-deciding clash against the north Londoners at the Etihad Stadium still to play. Jesus left City last summer as he completed a £45million switch to the Emirates Stadium, followed by fellow team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Brazilian striker has been a key figure in the Gunners' title challenge this term and once again proved to make a difference on Sunday afternoon, heading home to put Mikel Arteta's side 2-0 up inside 30 minutes against Liverpool. Unfortunately for Jesus and Arsenal, they could not go on to win the game and maintain their eight-point lead over City heading into their final eight games of the season.
