Haaland strikes as Man City beat Arsenal 2-1 to close Premier League gap to three points

Second-placed Manchester City beat Premier League leaders Arsenal 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, cutting the Gunners’ lead at the top to three points with a game in hand.

City went ahead through Rayan Cherki before Kai Havertz equalised for Arsenal. Erling Haaland restored the hosts’ advantage with the winner as Pep Guardiola’s side tightened the title race.

According to Al Jazeera, the 10-time English champions can draw level on points with Arsenal if they win their game in hand against Burnley on Wednesday.

Arsenal, chasing their first league title since 2004, were competing on four fronts until last month but have since seen their margin at the top shrink and have stumbled into the Champions League semi-finals.

Mikel Arteta’s team will look to respond when they host Newcastle United on Saturday.
