The Gunners have dropped down to second place after the loss, with a game in hand though. This will be displeasing as they once held a healthy 8-point lead with a game in hand.

The visitors took the lead through a well take effort by Kevin De Bruyne. Arsenal equalised from a penalty slotted in by Bukayo Saka.

Jack Grealish gave Man City the lead once again late into the second half. Erling Haaland made it 3-1 with his 26th league goal of the season.

“That’s the frustration – it’s exceptionally difficult to play at the level that they require you to play at to have the chance to win.” Arteta told the club media after the defeat.

“I think we’ve done it and in many moments we had them, but if you give three goals the way we did – just give them the game – and especially when you don’t put the big chances that we had away, the margin of error for them is almost zero.

“It’s a shame because we really had them.” He added.

Arsenal conceded the first goal through a defensive error.

“When errors happen as part of the risks we take, the risk and reward is understanding what we have to do. We didn’t understand well what we had to do, especially in the second half, when they changed their formation and went in a different shape.

“But we came out of there a lot of times and created big problems for them, so it’s always that balance.” He confirmed.
