Manchester City defeated Arsenal and closed to within three points of the leader

Manchester City triumphed in a key Premier League duel against Arsenal London 2:1 and dramatically closed the gap on the table's leader. The match was played on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, where the fate of the English football league's title race was decided. sport.sk ↗

Striker Erling Haaland became the hero of the home team, deciding the victory for Manchester City with his goal. The match had a dramatic course, with Arsenal having a great opportunity to equalize in the closing stages. In stoppage time, Kai Havertz failed on a header attempt, which remained a symbolic image of the frustration of coach Mikel Arteta, who knelt in the technical area. hnonline.sk ↗

Manchester City now trails the top spot by just three points and also has a game in hand. If the team wins on Tuesday on the pitch of second-to-last-placed Burnley, it will draw level with Arsenal on points. The course of the season is thus entering a decisive phase, where every mistake could be fatal. teraz.sk ↗

Spanish international Rodri was also injured during the match; he played almost the entire duel, but toward the end remained on the ground in visible pain and did not return until the finish. He will undergo tests to determine the severity of his injury. teraz.sk ↗

Arteta faces the question of whether his name will become associated with the image of "the man who almost won the title." Arsenal must focus on the remaining matches and try to defend its lead in the table. BBC News ↗
