Arsenal suffered a major blow in the Premier League title race with Manchester City leapfrogging them in the table following a well-deserved 3-1 victory at Emirates Stadium. Second half goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland sealed the victory after Bukayo Saka had cancelled out Keven De Bruyne's opener.
Heading into the clash, City moved to just three points behind Arsenal after beating Aston Villa the day after the Gunners were taken to a draw in controversial circumstances by Brentford. A better goal difference for the reigning champions meant a victory would take them to the summit of the Premier League for the first time this season and that is exactly what was achieved.
Mikel Arteta's side are now four games in all competitions without a victory and their unbeaten streak in the league on home soil is no longer. There is no time to dwell though as Arsenal face a difficult fixture away to Aston Villa, who have former manager Unai Emery at the helm, on Saturday.
