Concretely, the Citizens (2nd with 61 points) can come back to the level of the Gunners (70 pts) if they beat Chelsea on Sunday, Crystal Palace in their late match (date still undetermined), and Arsenal in what looks more and more like a “final” for the coronation.
In the meantime, the fourth defeat suffered this season in the Premier League – only the second at home after that against Manchester United in January – will resurface the recurring debate in England on Arsenal’s ability to resist pressure in the final sprint.
Goals from Frenchman Junior Kroupi (17th), his 10th in the Premier League, and Alex Scott (74th), brought down the Gunners and their center forward Viktor Gyökeres, who equalized from the penalty spot in the meantime (35th).
