Thomas Partey and Arsenal’s aspirations of winning their first English Premier League title in nearly two decades were dealt a severe blow as they suffered a 4-1 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
Despite being in contention for most of the season, the Gunners’ recent dip in form has seen their title hopes falter. Ahead of the Manchester City game, Arsenal had failed to secure a victory in their last three matches.
Manchester City dominated from the outset, with Kevin de Bruyne opening the scoring in just the seventh minute. John Stones then doubled their lead just before halftime.
In the second half, de Bruyne scored his second goal, assisted by Erling Haaland, before Arsenal’s Rob Holding pulled one back. Haaland then scored himself to complete a commanding display for the Cityzens, who are now two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand.
Manchester City will aim to secure the top spot with a win against Fulham on Sunday at Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Arsenal will take on Chelsea on Tuesday.
