OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: And then there was one. Just one more obstacle for Arsenal. Just one more ordeal. Just one more river to cross. Crystal Palace await in south London on Sunday afternoon and if Arsenal win there‚ the Premier League title will be theirs. It does not matter what Manchester City do against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday evening. It does not matter what they do against Aston Villa on Sunday at the Etihad. If Arsenal hold their nerve one last time at Selhurst Park‚ the title will be theirs. They only scraped past relegated Burnley at the Emirates. They crawled over the line courtesy of a majestic first half header from Kai Havertz from a Bukayo Saka corner. Maybe some will call them Set Piece FC again but they will not care about that.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: On this evidence - and on the back of what we saw as they rescued a point at Everton last Monday - City will not help Mikel Arteta 's team over the line. So now the baton - the burden of responsibility - passes to north London again. Now it's Arsenal's turn to answer questions at West Ham on Sunday. As City showed here at a tense and nervy Etihad Stadium‚ victories do not come easy when the stakes are this high. City deserved to win here in the end but not as comfortably as the scoreline suggested.

After the final whistle was blown at the Etihad‚ Erling Haaland knew that his work was done. He untied his long Viking-like hair‚ took off his shirt‚ and celebrated with the adoring Manchester City fans. The 25-year-old striker was covered neck to waist in scars‚ scratches‚ and cuts after a 90-minute battle with his old foe Gabriel‚ one that at times seemed more akin to a match at Wrestlemania than a football game. It was a true old-school battle. There was pushing‚ shoving‚ and even seemingly a 'headbutt' between the City and Arsenal stars. They fought tooth and nail with the Premier League title on the line.
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has issued a warning to Manchester City following their exuberant celebrations in the aftermath of their 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Sunday. The scores were level at half-time in an edgy game at the Etihad‚ with Rayan Cherki giving City the lead in the first half before Kai Havertz capitalised on a mistake from Gianluigi Donnarumma two minutes later.

Mikel Arteta's leaders are six points clear of City‚ who have a game in hand‚ and know that avoiding defeat will put them within touching distance of winning the top flight for the first time in 22 years.
IAN LADYMAN AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: It hasn't always looked that way this season for City. They are a new team finding their own way and at times have looked a little unsure of their own identity. But all that really matters now is what stands before them and after this second-half dismantling of Liam Rosenior 's increasingly irrelevant Chelsea ‚ it is hard not to look upon them as title favourites. It would appear as though Arsenal are going to have to land a blow in order to deny City. That opportunity comes at the Etihad next Sunday afternoon when the teams meet.

It was clear that the great Egyptian was never going to play in Paris.
