Arsenal win means Manchester City’s title hopes are dented

THE title race that keeps on giving threw up another chaotic twist at the Etihad last night as Manchester City gifted Chelsea a three point and seven-goal swing in the space of 24 hours, courtesy of Arsenal goals from Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud.

The two leading clubs in the Premier League meet in a fortnight at Stamford Bridge with advantage firmly in the court of Jose Mourinho’s side after their five-goal away demolition of Swansea was followed by Arsenal’s even more impressive dismantling of City and their vaunted home record.
