City’s victory means that they reduced the gap behind Arsenal on the Premier League table to two points, with both teams having three matches left.
Arsenal have a chance to extend the lead again if they beat West Ham on Sunday or throw the title race back in City’s hands if they draw or lose.
Supercomputer predicts Premier League winner
According to The Analyst, Opta’s supercomputer has updated its prediction after Manchester City reduced the gap behind Arsenal to two points.
The Gunners’ chances of winning dropped from about 7% without kicking a ball to about 79%, though they still have a massive chance of winning the title.
City’s chances of winning skyrocketed to above 20%, having been at 13% before the match as they keep fighting for the title until the very end.
The result today is double-faced: they put the disappointing 3-3 draw against Everton behind them, but it makes it even worse as they could have returned to the top of the table.
