• Arsenal vs Man City Premier League match ended in a 1-0 defeat for Guardiola's charges
• City's defeat came just days after they lost 2-1 to Wolves in another league outing
• The reigning champions now sit third in the EPL standings with 18 points from eight games

Manchester City have set an unwanted record following their 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League.

City have endured a shaky run of form in recent days, having lost three of their last four matches across competitions.

Pep Guardiola's charges have so far lost to Newcastle United, Wolves, and Arsenal in less than two weeks, sparking concerns about the possibility of them winning the treble once again this season.

City initially suffered a 2-1 surprise defeat against Wolves in the Premier League and were hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they faced Arsenal on Sunday, October 8.

Arsenal silence Man City

However, this was not the case, as the reigning champions went on to suffer another domestic defeat.

According to The Mirror, Gabriel Martinelli's brilliant deflected goal deep in the second half was the only difference as the Gunners silenced City at home.

The tie looked set to end in a goalless draw before Martinelli came off the bench to fire the hosts into victory.

ESPN reports that this is the first time City have suffered two straight Premier League defeats since 2018.

Guardiola's charges will be keen to get their campaign back on track when they face Brighton on Saturday, October 21, after the international break.

However, they lost the race to City, who won it by five points.
