English Premier League: Arsenal thrash Manchester City 2-1
London: Arsenal today overcame Manchester City 2-1 to reach to a second spot in the English Premier League title.
Leicester City will top the table at Christmas but Monday’s clash could be pivotal in the title race as second-placed Arsenal moved four points clear of third-placed City. Arsenal have 36 points from 17 matches while City have 32 and Leicester 38.
Walcott’s stunning effort – Arsenal’s first shot on target – lit up a cagey first period and Giroud neatly converted their second on the stroke of half-time to give the hosts a comfortable cushion.
Sergio Aguero could not find a breakthrough on his return to lead the City attack, lasting 63 minutes on his first outing in five fixtures.
Yaya Toure reduced the arrears with 10 minutes to go with an astonishing strike but City’s late charge fell flat and they have now not won any of their last five away fixtures in the league.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
