City blow but bank on more title twists
Manchester City were left ruing missed chances after Arsenal’s punchy second-half comeback from a goal down to win 2-1. “The first half was some of the best stuff we’ve played,” said City’s manager, Gareth Taylor, after his side failed to finish off an exhausted and depleted Arsenal. “We should have had more than the 1-0 at half-time, but we said if 1-0 has to be enough then make it be enough.” Taylor insisted there would be “a few more twists and turns” in the title race, with City and Arsenal still to play Manchester United, and Chelsea hosting Arsenal at Kingsmeadow, but City’s hopes of a first league title since 2016 have been dealt a massive blow.
