Erling Haaland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola said the Premier League title race has finally swung Manchester City\u2019s way after they thrashed Arsenal 4-1.<\/p>\n

Guardiola insisted for weeks that Arsenal are favourites, but after moving to within two points of Mikel Arteta\u2019s side with two games in hand, he changed course and said City are now in pole position to win a fifth title in six years.<\/p>\n

Arsenal still top the table, but asked whose position he would rather be in, Guardiola said: \u201cAbsolutely my position now, because it\u2019s in our hands. We have to win the games in hand, but it depends on us. Until today, I preferred Arsenal\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next three games are really important. Fulham on Sunday, then two games at home. These three games will dictate if we do what we have to do. It sounds naive, but we are behind Arsenal, they are two points in front of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

City crushed Arsenal thanks to two goals from Kevin De Bruyne and one each from John Stones and Erling Haaland. The prolific Norway striker also set up both De Bruyne goals and afterwards Guardiola said the pair of City attackers had decided the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game belongs to them,\u201d Guardiola said. \u201cI didn\u2019t teach them how they find each other in training. Footballers are more natural than you expect. Erling knows when Kevin has the ball. Kevin is a master of the assist with or without Erling. Erling scores goals all the time with or without Kevin. But together, with space behind, they are so dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the lopsided scoreline, Arteta refused to concede defeat in the title race, but he admitted Arsenal may have to win all five remaining games to have a chance of finishing above City.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very difficult night after the way we lost, but we have to stand up, look at the bigger picture and the fact we are competing toe-to-toe with this team and that is incredible to be fair,\u201d Arteta said. \u201cWe want to compete, we are not going to give up, it is five games and in this league anything can happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were beaten by the better team, that is for sure. They were exceptional and when that is the case it is extremely difficult. You have to start, first of all, by competing. We were punished and we could have been even more punished.\u201d<\/p>\n
