Manchester City reignited the Premier League title race as Erling Haaland ended his scoring drought with the decisive goal in a breathless 2-1 victory over leaders Arsenal on Sunday, cutting the gap at the top to three points with a game in hand.
The victory moved chasers City to 67 points from 32 matches, three behind Arsenal, who remain top on 70 from 33 games, but Pep Guardiola’s side can climb above them with a win over relegation-threatened Burnley on Wednesday with five games of the season remaining.
