Alarms bells blared throughout north London this weekend after Manchester City made up some critical ground on Arsenal, fueling fears of a potential calamitous collapse from Mikel Arteta’s men.
The Gunners returned to Premier League action with a shock 2–1 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, tallying their third defeat in their last four matches across all competitions. To make matters worse, City came out 24 hours later and bulldozed Chelsea 3–0 to shrink Arsenal’s cushion atop the table to six points.
