Mikel Arteta struck three minutes from time to give Arsenal a 1-0 victory over Manchester City and send the Gunners two points clear of Tottenham Hotspur in third place.
The Spanish midfielder scored the only goal of the game five minutes from time, striking a superb, 25-yard drive past Joe Hart into the bottom corner.
Mario Balotelli's trademark recklessness then came to the fore as the Italian, who should have been sent off for a studs-up challenge on Alex Song in the first half, was shown a second yellow card for clattering into Bacary Sagna.
