Manager Arsène Wenger yesterday declared that his team were still in the title race following their 3-1 win over Stoke City.
The Gunners were six points behind leaders Chelsea at the start of the day, but the Blues lost 4-2 to Man City and Arsenal took full advantage, reducing the gap at the top to 3 points.
Goals from Nicklas Bendtner, Cesc Fabregas and Thomas Vermaelen helped secure maximum points as Arsenal came from behind.
Wenger said: "We were in the title race before the game and mathematically we got closer to Chelsea today because they dropped points.
"It strengthens our belief and our determination. We will fight until the last game of the season.
"I'm proud of our game because it was an unbelievable battle from the first minute on and we needed to be tough, patient and resilient to comeback and win the game."
