In what many are calling the Title decider, Arsenal left a lot to be desired whilst Manchester City run rampant netting four past Aaron Ramsdale. With Manchester City now only trailing Arsenal by 2 points with 2 games in hand, many believe Manchester City have now had the last laugh.


Only 7 minutes into the game, Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring with an excellent finish, driven low into the bottom right corner to beat Ramsdale. This was followed by a 46th minute header from John Stones, getting on the end of a De Bruyne freekick which was ruled onside by VAR after being checked. The score being 2-0 at halftime, and many Arsenal players went in at halftime disgruntled with the late first half goal giving Manchester City their breathing room.


The scoring didn't stop there, De Bruyne getting his 2nd goal of the game in the 54th minute of play. De Bruyne created the chance for himself by winning the ball back just inside the Arsenal half which allowed De Bruyne and Haaland to break away, with Haaland slotting the ball into De Bruyne's path for him to do the rest.


With the game teetering out, Arsenal managed to pull one back through Rob Holding in the 86th minute. However this didn't amount to anything as Erling Haaland netted his 33rd Premier league goal of this campaign in the 95th minute to round off the scoring. The game ending 4-1.


So is this title race over now?


So with Manchester City having two games in hand, they are now the clear favourites in this race. Manchester City have to play Fulham, Leeds, Everton, Chelsea, Brentford and West ham which consists of 4 teams in the bottom half.


Arsenal have 4 remaining fixtures consisting of Newcastle, Brighton, Nottingham Forrest and Wolves. This has two teams fighting against relegation but also has two teams fighting for europe, so these 4 fixtures would rate the "harder" end to the season.


It looks likely Manchester City will lift their 3rd Premier league title in a row, and their 7th Premier league title in the last 12 seasons!
