Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has pinpointed Arsenal’s recent defeat at home to Aston Villa as the pivotal moment that may have handed City the Premier League title. His remarks came after City’s decisive 4-0 victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

In the match, Josko Gvardiol led the scoring with two goals, supported by strikes from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez. This win places City one point ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League standings, with just two games remaining for both sides.

Reflecting on the title race, Guardiola expressed to BBC Match of the Day, “Our dream has been to have our destiny in our own hands, and Arsenal’s slip against Aston Villa gave us that control.” Manchester City looks to maintain their lead, facing Tottenham Hotspur next Tuesday in a crucial away match.
