Pep Guardiola’s City have 51 points, the same as Arsenal but with a far superior goal difference.
“But what is important is the fact that we could have come here a few weeks ago maybe about eight or nine points behind. Losing here it would have been almost over. “This league will be decided for the last eight or 10 games. There are 15 to go. Many games and tiring for the players.” “It was an incredible battle between two teams and when we had them we gave them the goals. On the other hand, we had three big chances and we did not put them away,” said manager Mikel Arteta, formerly Guardiola’s assistant.
In the 39th minute, Eddie Nketiah, who earlier had headed a chance wide, was played through and lifted a shot goalwards just before being clattered by City’s keeper Ederson. Arsenal lost the plot after the break and had a let-off when City were awarded a penalty after Gabriel pulled back Haaland in the area but a VAR check ruled the Norwegian was offside.
