ByShamoon HafezManchester City journalist at Etihad Stadium54 Minutes ago371 CommentsErling Haaland’s winning goal, explosion of noise, reaction at full-time. “But the truth of the matter is that we have a terrible calendar and we’re not at the top of the league. They are the best English team so far, but we will fight until the very end. We know they are very competitive. We are also competitive, but we’re not alone. “The table speaks volumes. They were the best. Congratulations to the boys, but don’t forget the focus. Arteta says: “We are confident that we can win the title.” Arteta said: “We have full belief that we can do it. It’s right in front of us. “The Spaniard told BBC Radio 5 Live that we had missed an opportunity. They have the game in their hands, we have three. “Game on, because it’s a new Premier League. “Game on because it is a new Premier League. Danny Murphy, a former Premier League midfielder, told BBC Sport that the full-time celebration was a bit excessive. “If you’re an Arsenal player, your first thought is ‘hold on! We’re still ahead’. It was a heavy celebratory, I was surprised. “I understand it in an emotional moment, and I’ve been in games where you celebrate too much. It seemed like they were celebrating their title. They probably thought that by winning the group game, we now have a shot. “Even a tie was giving it to Arsenal so I get it. “[embedded text]Where does this result leave the title races? Haaland’s second half winner sparked a cacophony after Cherki gave the hosts the lead. Kai Havertz then equalised in between, following Gianluigi Donnarumma’s error. “Two months ago, this scenario did not seem likely. I am glad we are on the same point. “One aspect of title race was settled Sunday, with the prospect of a play-off at the end of the season now over. Should the teams be equal on points, goal differential and goals scored by 24 May, City would collect the title if they had a better record in head-to-head matches.Sunday was the latest game into a year City had faced league leaders since April 2012 The last time they faced Manchester United, they won 1-0 thanks to Vincent Kompany’s goal at the Etihad stadium. This was their first Premier League title based on goal difference. Is history about repeat itself? The pundits agree that Arsenal are still slight favorites. Former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney said to BBC Sport, “This title race has not yet ended. I still feel there are more twists and turn to come.” It’s going to be close, but City still has one game to win. I still see Arsenal as the slight favourites. “I’ve been in the same situation where you have to win every game. You think that you should win one game or another, but it doesn’t work out that way. From now until the end, it will come down to who keeps their composure best. That is the team that will win. Rob Green, ex-England goalkeeper: “It will take something monumental to turn this around for Arsenal. Former Man Utd defender Gary Neville said to Sky Sports that City are on the right path and it is a difficult train for Arsenal to stop. Serial winners come out on top during big matches. City stepped it up a notch. Danny Murphy, a former Tottenham and Liverpool midfielder, told BBC Sport that he believes the title race is now in City’s favor. Momentum, confidence, and all those things. I was very pleased with the game. I expected it to have been much more cagey. There were many great moments and quality. It was a thrilling game. “I still believe that Arsenal will win Premier League,” said Chris Sutton, ex-Blackburn Rovers forward on BBC Radio 5 Live. I think that they will win because they have the easier schedule, and Man City will lose because of theirs. “Related TopicsPremier LeagueManchester cityFootball
