📸 Son misses huge chance to give Arsenal upper hand in PL title race | OneFootball

Arsenal were hoping an uneasy truce with Tottenham would help them over the line in their Premier League title bid.

Ange Postecoglou’s side welcomed Manchester City for Tuesday’s game in hand and the omens initially didn’t 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 champions’ bid to reclaim top spot when Heung-min Son beat Manuel Akanji at a breakaway.

But the Spurs captain fluffed his lines against Ederson’s 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 Haaland’s penalty after Pedro Porro had fouled Jérémy Doku.

Is this the moment that the Gunners’ title dream fell away?
