While the gap at the summit is back to five, Man City still have a game in hand over Arsenal and will welcome the Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night on what could be a pivotal fixture in the title race.
Had Wilson’s goal stood, there would have been wild celebrations in the blue half of Manchester. Though, now Man City are in need of a huge favour from elsewhere while also navigating some tough games.

When can Arsenal clinch the Premier League title?
Man City’s maximum points total is 83, which means the Gunners require two wins to clinch the Premier League title.
However, if Man City fail to beat Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, Arsenal will be crowned Premier League champions if they beat Burnley at the Emirates Stadium a week on Monday.
If Man City beat Palace and Arsenal then beat Burnley, the Gunners will clinch the title if Man City then fail to win their game in hand away at Champions League-chasing Bournemouth on May 19 – three days after the FA Cup final.
The Premier League title race will be decided on the final day of the season – May 24 – as long as Man City beat Palace and Bournemouth.
