Following Manchester City’s win over Chelsea, a City supporter was filmed drinking from a bottle while mocking Arsenal fans and suggesting the Gunners had collapsed under pressure in the title race. That moment spread widely online, especially after Arsenal suffered defeats against Bournemouth and City in consecutive matches.At one stage, it looked like Pep Guardiola’s team had regained full control of the title race.
