Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has admitted that Manchester City missed a big opportunity in the Premier League title race on Sunday as Pep Guardiola's side lost 1-0 at Tottenham with leaders Arsenal losing the day before at Everton.
The Gunners were dealt just their second league defeat of the campaign at Goodison Park on Saturday which gave City the opportunity to cut the gap between the two sides to just two points with a victory at Tottenham.
However, Harry Kane's 200th Premier League goal proved the difference for Arsenal's north London rivals as the reigning champions missed the opportunity to cut the gap.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Walker admitted it was a missed opportunity, saying: "Of course it is, of course it is, because they dropped points. We needed to pick up on [that] to close the gap.
"But there's still a lot of football to play, I've been here many years in the Premier League and I know the twists and turns that can happen. And I know what this team is about, I know what this team can do.
"We can go on a run between now and the end of the season and it's just about us doing that really."
Mikel Arteta's side have mounted their first genuine title charge since the Invincibles campaign of 2003/04 and will need to have luck on their side at times as was the case on Sunday.
Moreover, how serious the Gunners' title bid is will become even more apparent in just over a week as City travel to the Emirates Stadium on February 15.
