 suffering a shocking home defeat against

, a familiar name to Arsenal supporters, provided the assist.

The 24-year-old midfielder was on Arsenal's books from 2006 to 2018 before moving to Brentford. Meanwhile, some Arsenal supporters jokingly believe it was all part of 

One fan wrote on Twitter: "Wenger brought Dasilva to Hale End, trained him so that one day he can play for Brentford and give Toney an assist for the winner against Man City. helping Arsenal remain on the top of the table without kicking a ball. He's done it again!"

'Arsenal won’t be a Leicester’: Man City fans react to falling behind in Premier League title race

The Citizens suffered a shock 2-1 loss to 

Man City fans believed that their club would need to finish the season on 90-94 points to win the title. Here is how some of them reacted on the BlueMoon forum going five points behind in the title race.

: “Things don't tend to repeat in football. Arsenal won't be Leicester, even though they are better than Leicester and will win more points than Leicester. Arteta is not Pep. But it's telling a lot about Pep's philosophy that the current top teams in the two best leagues in the world are managed by Pep's disciples. The Michels-Cruyff-Guardiola line in football is the best in history. But Pep spends a lot, doesn't make changes and is hard to understand, so his success doesn't count :).

“Arsenal will have difficult moments. Think they will drop 10 points over 7-8 games at some point of the season (that's 2 losses and 2 draws). The question is whether we'll be good enough to capitalise on their mistakes. Given our form under Pep since 2017, we are likely to go above 86 pts. Arsenal have a very good young team, but injuries and inexperience will stop them from going above 85 pts, imo, even if they are on course to 100 pts now. Things may go south quickly. As good as they are, they are not Liverpool good. Our games with them will be interesting. Maybe we'll be on form by then.”

: “Going to need a huge change in performances to win it. We have been poor so far. 5pts off top and it being Arsenal not Liverpool means we are still in it, but we need a big run of wins when we are back and to start playing with more balance.”

: “We can and should beat Arsenal, at home and away so a 5 point gap is something that can definitely be reversed, there are still 24 games ahead of us. I don't think Arsenal will win the title, but if they do? they well deserve it.”

: “24 games to go . Was always going to be a weird one with the diabolical timing of the World Cup in Qatar. I would back us 100% to kick on in the new year injuries permitting.”

: “We've played 14 games. No league has ever been won in November. Yesterday's result is a sickener because of the performance and the fact we have to wait more than 6 weeks to get it out of our system. Do you think the players will care? Of course they will. They'll come back from the World Cup and want to put things right. Pep will want to put things right. This might be the tightest Premier league in a long time. Arsenal haven't slipped up yet, they will and then it's how they respond. Plus, they play us twice. Loads of points still to be won and lost.

"This team, give or take, has won 4 of the last 5 Premier leagues. We will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. So, enjoy the break, whether you watch the World Cup or not, and get yourselves ready for a fantastic last 24, yes 24, premier league games, Champions league, league cup and FA Cup. It's all to play for. CTID.”

Arteta reveals Arsenal squad's brilliant reaction to seeing Man City lose to Brentford

When asked about how they reacted to seeing 

 win it for the visitors in the end, Arteta brilliantly replied: “As you can imagine.”

It’s quite obvious by the response that the Arsenal players probably went crazy seeing that result, knowing that a win against Wolves could help them move five points clear at the top of the 

The Gunners got the job done with a compelling 2-0 win to solidify their hold onto the top spot.

You are right anything can happen but we have a thinner squad and a couple of injuries to key players can affect us more than City. So we need luck on our side too. But I’m still hoping that if we are still top of the table in late February and City decides to concentrate on winning the CL then we have much bigger chance for the title.

So Man City fans believe that only Arsenal will drop points and forms or get affected by injuries? 
First of all, everything that you people predicted about Arsenal could as well happen to Man City too.  This is Football, it comes with surprises.  Besides City aren't invincible or injuries immune

add left sided central defender to challenge Gabriel. then add right back to support Tomi or leave white there and then need backup for Saliba. interesting times.

Steven Woods

Your not wrong.ideally cover for both wings would be the key but we know we won't have that kind of money yet. not when cover for Thomas  Party & another center forward is needed.i like Eddie & he is improving but I think we need that bit extra up front.

If arsenal get champions league anything else is a fantastic season.
Our squad isn't big enough sorry to say....Now if we purchase at least 3 signings.DCM a winger & a center forward it will strengthen us immensely.
I'm still waiting to see saka  saliba & martinelli resign contracts god willing 👍

We don’t think we shall win the league, but we’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
