Premier League: Tottenham Hotspur hold on to top spot thanks to arch-rivals Arsenal’s win over Manchester City

Arsenal finally ended its 12-game losing streak to Manchester City in the Premier League after Gabriel Martinelli scored in the 87th minute Sunday to secure a 1-0 win over the defending champion. In a cagey match that featured few quality chances for either side, substitutes Kai Havertz and Martinelli combined for a late winner that made the Emirates crowd erupt. Havertz laid the ball off for Martinelli whose shot from outside the area took a deflection to wrongfoot City goalkeeper Ederson. It was a goal that put an end to six years of demoralizing league defeats against City — including a 3-1 loss at home last season that helped Pep Guardiola’s team finish five points above Arsenal. The team’s 12-match losing streak against City in the league was the longest against any opponent in the...

English Premier League: Starting this weekend, a 3-week season-defining period for Arsenal

The 2015-16 season will always hold a special place in the hearts of most football fans around the world as Leicester City smashed through the proverbial glass ceiling and wrested the Premier League title from the stranglehold of the EPL’s Big 6. That season while the Foxes romped to glory, Arsenal came second. This season, however, the Gunners lead the charge for their first EPL crown in 19 years but you can’t help but feel that Arsenal’s campaign has the same echo of the 2015-16 Leicester season. Just like they did with the Foxes seven years ago, a lot of people are of the opinion that Arsenal will eventually slip from their lofty heights and concede the title to the marauding Manchester City.
