Manchester City star Jack Grealish believes Arsenal are still favourites to win the Premier League despite crucial victory against Liverpool.
Jack Grealish had a man-of-the-match performance as Manchester City beat rivals Liverpool to cut the gap to Arsenal; however, the former Aston Villa man believes the Premier League is still Arsenal's to lose.
Pep Guardiola's side were ruthlessly dominant against the Reds, winning 4-1 at the Etihad, as they temporarily reduced the deficit on first-place Arsenal to five points.
City win crucial clash
The visitors dealt the first blow, as Mohammed Salah completed a devastating counterattack to give Jurgen Klopp's side a 17th-minute lead.
City found an equaliser 10 minutes later when Julian Alvarez tapped in from close range. The hosts grabbed the lead right after the break, with Kevin de Bruyne getting on the end of a Riyad Mahrez cross in the 46th minute, before Gundogan put it further away from Liverpool's reach with a 53rd-minute strike.
