While the race is not over yet, it would take a remarkable collapse for City to throw it away now. “We have to apologize to our people, especially for the second half,” Arteta said after his team’s 3-0 loss to Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.It was the fifth time in seven games that Arsenal has dropped points in the closing weeks of the season.By comparison, City’s 3-0 win against Everton earlier in the day extended its unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions, including 11 straight wins in the league. City has been near-perfect, while Arsenal’s challenge has melted in the heat of th...
