Man City 2 Arsenal 1 – Where does this leave title race? Good and bad of Donnarumma? Red card Gabriel?

This game was always going to prove crucial in this Premier League title race — but the win for Manchester City against Arsenal also brought lots of entertainment. The result leaves City three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand while Pep Guardiola’s side can go top on Wednesday if they beat Burnley by two goals. We got action from the off as a moment of magic from Rayan Cherki opened the scoring as he danced through the Arsenal defence before an error from Gianluigi Donnarumma allowed Kai Havertz to pounce and level the scores. Before that, David Raya nearly gifted City an opener with a loose touch, but moments later, he was relieved to see a shot cannon off the post. In the second half, Eberechi Eze hit the post and Havertz was denied by Donnarumma (and missed a great chance late on) while Gabriel also went close. But it was Haaland, who was involved in an odd shirt incident with Gabriel, who sealed the win. Gabriel also appeared lucky to avoid a red card when he went forehead to forehead with Haaland, but both were booked. James McNicholas, Sam Lee, Art De Roche, Conor O’Neil and former Premier League referee and VAR official Graham Scott give their views.
