Man City win to close on Arsenal as Liverpool hit fiveManchester City beat Leeds 1-0 to close within two points of ArsenalLONDON - Manchester City shrugged off the absence of Erling Haaland to close to within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal with a 1-0 win at Leeds on Saturday, while Liverpool beat West Ham 5-2 to climb into fifth. Antoine Semenyo instead proved to be the match-winner with his sixth goal in 11 games since joining City last month. "It was a huge victory to still be there (in the race)," said Guardiola, whose side and Arsenal are still involved in four competitions. Cody Gakpo added another goal after the break before an Axel Disasi own goal capped off the win for Liverpool. Everton notched another excellent away win to maintain their hope of European football next season with a 3-2 victory at Newcastle.
