Arsenal downs Manchester City



Arsenal defeated title rivals City to close the gap on league leaders Leicester City. Theo Walcott ‘s thunderous drive in the first half set Arsenal on their way before Olivier Giroud scored the decisive second just before half time.
City tried to get back into the game and were given hope when Yaya Toure scored a sumptuous goal with Petr Cech rooted to the spot. The visitors made three attacking substitution in the second half bringing on Raheem Sterling, Wilfred Bony and Jesus Navas in an attempt to overturn the deficit.
Arsenal held on in the end closing the gap to two points at the top and creating a significant gap over Man City. Petr Cech, however, will have to wait a little longer before overtaking David James with the highest number of clean sheets in the Premier League.
