Arsenal Beat Manchester City 2-1

Arsenal maintains their second position on the log of the English Premier league table following their 2-1 victory over third place Manchester City on Monday night football.
 The Gunners have now opened a four points lead over City, and reduced Leicester City's lead to two points after 17 league games.
 Theo Walcott opened scoring for the Emirate side after connecting with a Mesut Ozil's assist in the 33rd minute of the game, as Olivier Giroud doubled Wenger's men's lead in the 45th minute, just before half time.
 Meanwhile, City's Yaya Toure pulled one back for the Manuel Pellegrini's men in the later period of the game, but Yaya's goal wasn't enough to rescue a point for the noisy neighbours on the night.
 Arsenal ended the game with just 37 percent of ball possession and six shots on target while two hit the back of the net while City enjoyed more ball possession but couldn't convert most of their chances at the end of the day.
 Arsenal will travel to Southampton for the boxing day fixture while Manchester City welcome struggling Sunderland to the Ethiad stadium.
