Arsenal player ratings vs Man City: The bottle-job is on! Gabriel gets monstered by Erling Haaland as Gunners' grip on Premier League title race evaporates
Arsenal's Title Hopes Deteriorate
Arsenal's title hopes suffered another massive hit as Erling Haaland's second-half goal settled Sunday's titanic Premier League title clash in favour of Manchester City. Haaland struck on 65 minutes to seal a 2-1 win for Pep Guardiola's side, who will now move to the top of the table should they win their game in hand at Burnley in midweek.
Match Summary
The Gunners have now gone four domestic games without a win in all competitions, exiting both cup competitions in the process as well as handing the title initiative to City. It looked for a long time like they might get a draw that would keep the title race in their hands, though, having cancelled out Rayan Cherki's superb opener when Kai Havertz pounced to deflect Gianluigi Donnarumma clearance into the net on 18 minutes.
