Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester City have now conceded two or more goals in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September and October in 2002. This was City's first defeat in 15 matches in all competitions since CSKA Moskva's win at the Etihad Stadium on 5 November 2014.

Comments:

League position: 5th This was Arsenal's first win at the home of the Premier League's reigning champions since a 1-0 win at Manchester United on 8 May 2002 when Sylvain Wiltord's goal meant the double-winnign Gunners had become the first top flight team to go through a season without losing an away game since Preston North End in 1889. The last time they won at the defending champions by more than a single goal margin was on 26 May 1989 when Michael Thomas' last minute goal at Liverpool famously secured a First Division title-winning 2-0 victory.
