Monday night’s 2-1 win over Manchester City took the Gunners to within two points of leaders Leicester and was achieved with fewer shots and less possession than their title rivals.

The Germany global has amassed a total of 15 assists in the Premier League this season – more than double than the next best of Gerard Deulofeu and Riyad Mahrez (7).
“Ozil had a chest infection this weekend and he was in bed, basically”.
“He had only one training session yesterday”.
The 2-1 win lifted Arsenal to within two points of league leaders Leicester, while also established a four point cushion above third-placed City.
A defensive slip up from Eliaquim Mangala, who started in the centre of defence on Monday alongside Aleksandar Kolarov, handed Arsenal their second goal on the stroke of half time – a deficit from which City could not recover.
City have lost five games this season and the last team to lose more than five games before Christmas and still win the title was Everton in 1986-87.
City are now without an away win in the Premier League since September 12 as their own title ambitions continue to stutter.
“We go game by game and concentrate on having a game plan and trying to implement it. That has been our strength so far against the big team and it makes us stronger as a unit”.
“I think the team is changing a little bit, the team is doubting their qualities and not playing as they can, and that’s all about confidence”. The Premier League wants to be the best in the world but you need 40 to 50 per cent of foreign managers, but as well give some chances to local managers, like (Eddie) Howe from Bournemouth who now comes out.
“I think it is a joke to be honest”, he said on MNF.
Ozil said: “There is no rush to sign a new contract.My current deal runs until 2018”.
“We can’t avoid injuries – sometimes you have more, sometimes you have less – but we showed that even with the unlucky injuries at the moment that we manage to win games”. You had times where you had players on the ground at both sides of the pitch because of that total commitment.

Yesterday’s significant result may have come too early as there are still 21 games left in the season but Wenger had to win this top of the league clash if he was going to be considered as a serious contender.
