Grealish completed a deft move to regain the advantage for the visitors after Gabriel blundered, and Haaland then hammered a cutback from de Bruyne home.

Eddie Nketiah missed opportunities in both halves, and Arteta claimed his team “gifted” goals to City while also failing to take advantage of their own opportunities.

We lost it, and by we I mean that we did,” Informed Amazon Prime, Arteta. The two teams engaged in an epic battle, and when we had them, we just handed them the goals. Definitely provided them the objectives.

‘And against this team they are going to smash you, but on the other hand we had three big, big chances and we didn’t take them, and that’s what made the difference,’ said the player.

Arteta continued, “We have to be above our level to defeat them because of the quality they possess.

“I believe we had them in crucial situations, but once more, the games are defined by specific incidents, particularly in the box, and they were superior to us there.”

While the two teams will clash once more at the Emirates in April, Arsenal still has a game in hand on City.

The Gunners were also without midfielder Thomas Partey, who was replaced by January acquisition Jorginho after he was declared out with a thigh injury prior to kickoff.

With City playing against Nottingham Forest later that day, Arsenal may momentarily retake the league lead when they return to action against Aston Villa on Sunday.
