Arsenal were hoping an uneasy truce with Tottenham would help them over the line in their Premier League title bid.
Ange Postecoglouâs side welcomed Manchester City for Tuesdayâs game in hand and the omens initially didnât appear promising.
Erling Haaland opened the scoring early in the second half but they were later forced into a goalkeeping chance as Ederson went off with a knock.
The hosts almost delivered a potential upset to the defending championsâ bid to reclaim top spot when Heung-min Son beat Manuel Akanji at a breakaway.
But the Spurs captain fluffed his lines against Edersonâs understudy Stefan Ortega by firing straight at him in the one-on-one situation.
No sooner had Son spurned that effort that City doubled their lead through Haalandâs penalty after Pedro Porro had fouled JĂŠrĂŠmy Doku.
Is this the moment that the Gunnersâ title dream fell away?
