The Manchester City supporter who famously mocked Arsenal at Stamford Bridge was seen with the bottle firmly tucked inside his pocket during the 3-3 draw with Everton on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Tal Rehman went viral last month after he drank from an Arsenal-branded bottle during City\u2019s 3-0 win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge \u2013 a result that came after the Gunners\u2019 2-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The bottle was out again the following weekend when City sealed a 2-1 win against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, which put Pep Guardiola\u2019s side three points behind their title rivals with a game in hand.<\/p>\n

Arsenal pulled six points clear with wins over Newcastle United and Fulham, meaning the pressure was on City to get a win away to Everton on Monday night.<\/p>\n

But Guardiola\u2019s men could only salvage a 3-3 draw with Jeremy Doku\u2019s goal in the seventh minute of injury time, meaning that they now five points behind Arsenal with only one game in hand.<\/p>\n

Rehman was spotted by photographers in the away section at the Hill Dickinson Stadium during the closing stages of the game and eagle-eyed Arsenal fans noticed the infamous bottle zipped up inside his jacket pocket.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the bottle incident initially went viral, Guardiola had urged City supporters to \u2018respect\u2019 Arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u2018Beating Arsenal once is so difficult, imagine beating them twice in a few weeks. So we have to rest, prepare and read exactly what we have to do,\u2019 Guardiola said before City\u2019s 2-1 win at home to Mikel Arteta\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\u2018But I would like to say to my fans \u2013 respect Arsenal a lot. They\u2019re an extraordinary team. They are. It\u2019s not naive, it\u2019s not to make them feel something that they are not.<\/p>\n

\u2018But at the same time: come join us and support us minute one. The players will do the maximum.\u2019<\/p>\n

City can now close the gap at the top of the Premier League to two points with at home to Brentford on Saturday.<\/p>\n
