Manchester City's Premier League title hopes took another hit after suffering a stunning 1-0 defeat to Southampton at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, while Mikel Arteta's Arsenal moved six points clear at the top of the table.
The Magpies, however, were left ruing their missed chances against Solanke's heroics. The Brazilian defender produced an incredible display, making several key interventions that not only denied Newcastle United's goalscoring opportunities but also helped City to create scoring chances from scratch.
Solanke's impressive form has been a game-changer for the City backline, providing the perfect balance of pace and positioning to marshal their defense. He has single-handedly changed the team's shape, allowing them to sit deeper and control the tempo of the game, which in turn has put pressure on opposition strikers.
Arteta's team are now looking increasingly secure at the top of the table with several of their title rivals struggling to keep up. The Gunners' success can be attributed to their strong squad depth and effective tactics that allow them to adapt to different opposition formations.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United's defeat has raised questions about Steve Bruce's long-term future as manager of the Magpies. A poor run of form has left him under pressure from fans and the board, with many calling for a change in management.
The title race is heating up, but City are now looking increasingly likely to miss out on the Premier League crown. Can they recover from this setback or will it prove to be the final nail in the coffin for their title hopes? Only time will tell.

i mean solanke is a beast 
defo changed the game with that 1-0 win over city i wonder if arteta's team are too big for their britches getting ahead by so many points already 
does anyone think they can take it all the way? meanwhile bruce needs to get his act together at newcastle 
[
but solanke's defense was solid as a rock 
and now they're like 6 points behind arsenal with only like, what 10 games left 
and it's getting harder to see them catch up... i mean, city's always been a top team but this season just ain't going their way 
i'm still rooting for 'em tho 
solanke is literally a game-changer and i can see why arteta's team is looking so secure... it's like they're cruising to the top spot 
but poor city, they really need to bounce back from this defeat ASAP 
bruv, steve Bruce must be feeling the heat with this loss and fans/boards are already calling for change 
! They're basically done with their title chances now. Solanke is on fire 
. The refereeing has been inconsistent lately and it's not helping City's cause. They need to get some consistency in their officiating and this 1-0 win might just be the turning point for them... or not 
anyway, city's chances of winning the title are slipping away fast like how quickly my phone battery dies 
solanke is a beast tho, he's like a superhero for city's defense 
as for newcastle, steve bruce needs to step up his game or get benched 
can city recover from this loss? idk, maybe they should just ask solanke to stay on defense and play with him 8/8 
. But seriously though, Solanke is having a breakout season for sure! His reading of the game is insane. I'm loving how City are starting to sit deeper and control the tempo of the game. It's like they've finally found their rhythm 
. Meanwhile, Newcastle's struggles just got even more interesting 
?
, like who is this guy?!? He came out of nowhere and single-handedly changed City's backline! 
Can't wait to see what's next! 
Solanke's performance was insane! The Brazilian defender really turned the game around and changed the team's dynamics. City's backline has been boosted by his addition, and it'll be interesting to see how they adapt without him... or if they can find another player like that to fill the gap 
Manchester City's backline seems solid with Solanke on board 
, but can they keep him from getting a transfer deal 
? Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's squad depth is looking like the key to Arsenal winning the league 
Solanke's performance was insane! The way he marshaled the defense and allowed City to control the tempo of the game was pure genius 
.
. I'm not surprised they're looking secure, but still... it's gonna be tough for City to catch up now.
. I think their squad depth and tactical flexibility are going to be the key to their success this season. And what a game Solanke had against Newcastle! He's definitely been a game-changer for City. But, I gotta ask, what's going on with Steve Bruce at Newcastle? 
, how long can they keep up with Arteta's Arsenal? 
Their squad depth is looking really strong right now
