Arsenal lose 4th straight game, hold 3-point Premier League lead

Arsenal suffered their fourth consecutive domestic defeat with a 2-1 loss to Manchester City on Sunday evening at the Etihad Stadium. The Gunners created unwanted history by losing four straight league/cup games for the first time under Mikel Arteta, marking their first such streak since March 2018. Erling Haaland scored the crucial winner in the second half to give Pep Guardiola's side all three points. Despite the defeat, Arsenal still leads the Premier League standings with a three-point cushion over City. The north London side faces a crucial match against Newcastle United on April 25, where they'll aim to end their record slump and secure their position at the top of the table.
