Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki scored the all-important goals for the Citizens either side of Kai Havertz\u2019s leveller to close the gap on Mikel Arteta\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
Man City<\/strong> are now just three points behind Arsenal<\/strong> with a game in hand and will go top of the Premier League if they beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Many pundits and supporters are now writing off Arsenal after throwing away a big lead but Rooney doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s as cut and dry as that.<\/p>\n Rooney said: \u201cThis title race is not over yet, I still feel like there are some more twists and turns to come.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is is obviously going to be tight but City have got one more game to try to win, so I still have Arsenal down as slight favourites.<\/p>\n READ: <\/span>16 Conclusions from Man City 2-1 Arsenal: Cherki, Bernardo, Haaland, O\u2019Reilly, bottle<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been in this situation myself, where you need to win all your games for the title. You look at your games and you think well we should win this one, or that one, but it never pans out that way.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom now until the end of the season it is just going to be down to which team keeps their composure the best \u2013 that\u2019s who will win it.\u201d<\/p>\n Man City boss Pep Guardiola also played down expectations, he said:\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t know, I didn\u2019t think Arsenal were in bad momentum. In the Carabao Cup we were better.<\/p>\n \u201cToday we were really good. They came here after the defeat with hunger and we won. They are are so competitive, we know that. But at the same time, we are too.<\/p>\n \u201cThe table speaks for itself. They have been the best. Congratulations to the guys, but don\u2019t lose the focus.<\/p>\n \u201cWednesday is our game in hand and we can be there if we win. That\u2019s what we have to do. Doing it will be so difficult because Everton or Brentford, or Aston Villa, Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n \u201cThe games that we have. Bournemouth away. Last week they won in Emirates and Newcastle. It will be more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE MAN CITY VS ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> After the match, Arsenal boss Arteta was still believing that his side can win the Premier League title with the Spaniard keen to take the positives from the defeat to Man City.<\/p>\n When asked if he still retained hope, Arteta said: \u201c100%. I said to the boys we have to look in the mirror and the team we played in the moment, the history they have, to come back from a goal down.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things to take. The difference was in both boxes that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the end it\u2019s the result we came to conquer. We did a lot of things right to take the game where we wanted.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had the best chances in the game but we didn\u2019t put them away and that\u2019s the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: <\/span>Neville claims Arteta was \u2018hampered enormously\u2019 by two Arsenal stars vs Man City<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
