Arsenal 4-0 Everton: Arsenal take firmer control of title race
If it was, the Gunners' response since then has been truly outstanding and the 4-0 thrashing of hopeless Everton at Emirates Stadium delivered thrilling confirmation that Arsenal are in this title race to stay.
Arsenal's third successive win since the 3-1 defeat by City gives clarity to the task in front of them as they are now five points clear with 13 games remaining, the same as Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta's side had been passing tests all season, showing a new steel and resilience to answer lingering questions about their character, but the loss to City at Emirates Stadium on 15 February felt different.
Arsenal had been at full tilt to hit top spot while City had been muddling along well short of their best - yet Pep Guardiola's men raised their game to put the Gunners away and deliver what felt like a hefty psychological blow.
