## Resource

Patrick and Neel pick through a big Premier League weekend. Man City beat Arsenal 2-1 to tighten the title race to three points with a game in hand, and they break down Arsenal's tactical setup, the second half drop-off, and what it means for the run-in. Chelsea lose 1-0 to Manchester United, all but ending their Champions League hopes, and the guys dig into the financial mess that got them here. Spurs throw away a late lead to Brighton in injury time, edging closer to a club-record winless run and a potential relegation battle with West Ham. Then it's Copa del Rey chat, as Real Sociedad beat Atletico Madrid on penalties in a huge win for Matarazzo's project.
