If you has offered them three points from those two away game, Man City and Arsenal, before the fact they would definitely have taken it.
Arguably Arsenal aren't even their most likely challengers anyway. Think the 'OMG the title race has swung' narrative is a bit over done.
Given the later fixture, second spot is definitely Arsenal's to lose now. But Leicester winning at Man City last week meant they were allowed to slip up.
Not losing today would have been massive though. Shame
