Manchester City have forfeited a precious gift from rivals Arsenal and moved closer to them in the race for the English Premier League title after they suffered a surprise 0 defeat at the twenty-second round of the English Premier League on Sunday: 1 against their host Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester City have remained the defending champions for the last two seasons, finishing in second place with 45 points and 5 points behind Arsenal (leaders), who still have their match delayed.
City looked to close the gap to two points with Arsenal, who lost 0-1 to Everton on Saturday in the same stage of the competition, but failed to reach their goal after suffering their fourth defeat in the competition during the current season, continuing their shaky results in the last period in the championship, having won only 4 wins in their last eight matches in the English Premier League.
