LONDON, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Beleaguered Arsenal were dealt a hammer blow in a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday while Manchester United joined the English Premier League leaders Chelsea and Liverpool by failing to find the net.

Manchester United were unable to capitalize on stumbles by their title rivals, producing a third goaless stalemate at Aston Villa on an afternoon of few goals. Arsenal's turbulent week, featuring William Gallas outburst, ended in more misery as a fifth league defeat of the season left their title hopes fading.
Arsene Wenger's side slid to fifth, 10 points behind Chelsea and Liverpool who are level on 33 points with Chelsea ahead on goal difference. United are eight points behind with a game in hand while Villa rose to fourth.
Elsewhere, Stoke City won the battle of the promoted clubs 1-0 against West Bromwich Albion; Bolton Wanderers won 3-1 at Middlesbrough and Hull City twice came from behind in a 2-2 draw at Portsmouth.
Arsenal turned up at the City of Manchester Stadium without William Gallas, who had been left behind and stripped of the captaincy after making dressing-room strifes public.
