Gunners on Target against Manchester City

The defending champs were handed a damaging defeat when they lost at home to Arsenal, 2-0.

That's also more points lost to Chelsea in the title race.

Manchester City were trying to reach the heights that the pacesetting Blues have already attained but were halted by a disciplined Gunners side. The stadium that was a fortress last season now seems to be a well of lost league points.

Arsène Wenger is surely chuffed, now that his side has handled the reigning titlists. The possession battle may have gone to the Citizens, but that's a matter to be addressed in practice with the points in pocket.

City, on its home ground, have never looked this poor.
