Premier League title race: Manchester City 'send message' but Arsenal 'in control'

The Premier League title race is shaping up to be an exciting run-in after leaders Arsenal and second-placed Manchester City's latest away victories.

The Gunners saw off Leicester City with a hard-fought 1-0 win, while City were in imperious form as they despatched Bournemouth 4-1 on the south coast.

Arsenal can extend their lead over City to five points if they beat Everton at Emirates Stadium in their next outing on Wednesday, 1 March, after which both title contenders will have played 25 games.

City's Rico Lewis said the victory at Bournemouth - their 200th away win in the Premier League - "sends a message" to the league leaders, and with the season about two-thirds over, matters are intriguingly poised.
