Chelsea were booed off at full-time after a result that left them languishing in 10th place, with just two wins in their last 14 games in all competitions and none in their last five. With just minutes left at Villa Park, Mikel Arteta’s side were in danger of slipping up again in their bid to win the title for the first time since 2004. Just three days after surrendering first place with a 3-1 defeat against City, Arsenal bounced back in impressive style to move two points clear of the champions.

Man City have glaring Bernardo Silva problem as Zinchenko ... (Football.London)

Arsenal news: Manchester City sold left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko to the Gunners and now face a significant problem in that position.

Bernardo joining attacks as an extra player and playing the inverted role helps City in possession but Arsenal and Forest have both managed to exploit his defensive naivety. "He's playing in midfield but in Man City's defensive shape he goes into the left-back position. Against Aston Villa and Arsenal, Guardiola has deployed Bernardo Silva in the position to varying effect. Laporte and Ake provide solidity defensively in the position, while Lewis can also play the inverted role. Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake were mainstays in the backline earlier this season with John Stones and Ruben Dias each dealing with their own injury issues. Meanwhile, just a few hours later, City looked to be comfortably heading back to the top after Bernardo Silva's goal,

But the manner of this loss frustrated him more because his team did not try to pass the ball. The score was the same, a 4-2 home defeat, and the opposition was stronger. The hope now is that this can be the galvanising moment in their season. The sight of players dispossessed in deep areas, gifting goals, was too much to take. How about three in the final third of a game that has flipped the title race once more? They came out for the second half early, gathered themselves in a huddle and set about starting the recovery. "We want to make this a tough place to come, and we are doing that with two wins and two clean sheets," Dyche said. This was the moment to seize control of the title race and City stuttered. We saw it at the end of last season when Everton's home form played a huge part in them staying in the top flight.

He bemoaned missed chances and was critical of poor defending for the goal conceded, but also gave a glowing review of a "brilliant" performance.
