4/8/12

Summary:

As of yesterday Manchester City seem to have fallen out of the race for the Barclay's Premier League crown. Although City was decreased to 10 men after Mario Balotelli received a red card in the 90th minute, but it did not make a difference to the scoreline. Mikel Arteta scored in the 72nd minute to give Arsenal the lead and from their on it was the Gunners game.

Significance:

Since City lost yesterday, Manchester United are eight points ahead in the league table and seem to have first place locked up. Also, a victory for Arsenal helps them get closer to locking 4th place and a spot in next years Champions League. City started off the year in first place and this past couple of weeks has had incredibly poor form.

Alternate Heading: Arsenal Shoot United to the Top

question: Does City have a chance of winning the league?
