Premier League: A pivotal day in the title race

 Saturday 25th February is being seen by many as a very important day in the title race.

Here's how Arsenal and Man City got on.

Leicester City 0 - 1 Arsenal 

Leicester v Arsenal

A 46th-minute goal by Gabriel Martinelli at the King Power Stadium was enough to maintain Arsenal's advantage over Manchester City. 

A defeat against a relegation threatened Everton side earlier this month sparked a winless three-game spell that included a loss to City and threatened to blow them off course, but those memories now appear to have been banished. Arsenal defended well when they needed to. It was then over to Man City.

One Arsenal fan told us: "This feels like an important win!"

Bournemouth 1 - 4 Man City

City never looked in danger of dropping more points once Julian Alvarez put them ahead.

Erling Haaland looked back to his best and maintained his goal-a-game ratio by tucking home a close-range second for his 27th top-flight goal of the season to end a relatively lean spell of one in six games.

Phil Foden then punished Philip Billing's wayward pass to add a third for the away side before half-time  Bournemouth's misery was completed after the break when Chris Mepham deflected an Alvarez volley into his own net.

The home side did pull a goal back through Lerma but the fans attention had well and truly turned to the relegation battles that lie ahead. For City, an important month coming up that will play a part in deciding their own fate this season.
