Arsenal are back to second in the league following Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last night. In a bizarre twist of fate, the Gunners had been hoping to see their fiercest rivals find success against the Cityzens in order to give them the necessary title-race boost but it was not to be and now Mikel Arteta’s side may well be set for a successive second-place finish in the Premier League.
