Polish term or phrase: odrobić trzy punkty do lidera
Prosiłbym o pomoc w tłumaczeniu tego powyższego zwrotu związanego z poniższym kontekstem.
"Manchester City - Liverpool 2:1. Obywatele odrobili trzy punkty do lidera i znów są w grze o mistrzostwo Anglii.

Po golach Sergio Aguero i Leroya Sane Manchester City pokonał na własnym terenie Liverpool 2:1. Honorową bramkę dla gości zdobył Roberto Firmino. Drużyna Juergena Kloppa nadal jest liderem Premier League, ale The Citizens tracą do niej już tylko cztery punkty.
City odrobiło trzy punkty straty do lidera i po 21. kolejkach przewaga Liverpoolu w tabeli wynosi cztery pkt. Wyścig o mistrzostwo Anglii znów nabrał więc rumieńców."

Explanation:
Highlights and report as Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane move champions to within four points of leaders

[cut]

City were simply not willing to relinquish their title without a fight, their victory reduces Liverpool's lead at the top of the table to four points and leaves the Premier League title race delicately poised. - https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/11597970/manch...

Manchester City clawed back three points on Manchester United in the race for the Premier League title as they beat West Brom 4-0 while the Red Devils suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at Wigan.

Manuel Pellegrini’s team clawed back three points on the leaders, courtesy of a pretty routine victory over a WBA who, although fighting for Premier League survival, weren’t able to summon up a second shock within a week at the Etihad.
