Jamie Carragher says Stefan Ortega has won Manchester City the title - and that his late save to deny Heung-Min Son will "haunt" Arsenal fans.
City are just one win from the title after their 2-0 victory at Tottenham on Tuesday moved them two points clear of the Gunners with just one game to play.
However, a draw at Spurs would have kept Arsenal on top of the table - meaning the title would have been in their hands going into the final day.
That scenario almost came to pass when, in the 86th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Manuel Akanji was robbed of possession inside his own half.
Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast at full-time, Carragher said: "[Tottenham] gave Man City more problems than I've probably seen anybody give them for a long time, in terms of the chances they created.
"Ortega, tonight alone, has won them the Premier League title. Obviously a lot's gone into that over the season but when you look at this game, if he doesn't make those saves at 1-0, Arsenal will win the league. That's how close it is."
