Today's game was thrilling, and Arsenal played admirably. I enjoyed how Arsenal defeated Manchester City today. This is the end of Manchester City; they will never again be on top of the table. Accept in their dream from today's export; that's how their point will keep dropping. Martinelli did an excellent job; he showed us love; he made us fans proud of the team and feel very much supported; congratulations to Arsenal once more. In the absence of Saka, I really enjoy how Jesus grips his wing.

They did really good against City I love their game play and how they read the game well against City, Pep Guardiola wasn't really happy with his teams performance and I believe he'll really caution his players against the next match after the international break, they've lost 2 consecutive matches and have dropped to the 3rd from 1st position with 18 points, I think they were so unlucky cause they missed several chances to win the game.

  Apart from Martinelli who helped them secure the winning, I think William Saliba also deserved to be praised as well for his good performance in the match, he marked Haaland and his impact wasn't really felt in the game, to the point that Haaland could get any shot or create any chance in the match, Arsenal's defense line was very strong today and that's why they didn't concede any goal today.

Arsenal indeed played a very good football weekend and just as I said in my earlier comment,  Asernal is currently following their previous partten in the premiere,  but although,  Manchester city was taken unaware by the Asernal players and to a great extent,  Manchester City tried in multiple attempts to make an equalizing goals before the end of the March.

But unfortunately for them,  the lost it out and that is a great lose for the club since at most,  the could have manage a draw game instead of the lost game they played in this weekend as a defending champions.

I mean especially one thing was a really big goal opportunity. They were keeping Arsenal defense under pressure and Alvarez was nearly turning this pressure into a goal. David Raya made a big mistake but Arsenal must be thankful that it was a goal kick later on. Manchester City couldn't play as they wanted today.

Arsenal finally managed to take advantage of this in the last minutes. Martinelli's luck was also right beside him in that incident and he scored it. I can't even imagine how satisfying it must be for Arteta to beat his old teacher Guardiola here.  

What would you have expect when two elephants like Manchester City and Arsenal does meet. Both team has got to play with extreme caution as a lose in either side which was proven by the day would mean a fall on the table. Something both sides weren’t willing to give in on but, eventually, my that ample of mistake and deflection, Manchester City did give in with the ball coming off Ake’s face and found it’s way unto the net. There was nothing anyone could do about that and you can tell from the way it was celebrated by M. Arteta, Martinelli, the rest of the team and the fans. It felt as though they won the premier league trophy. I was amazed and it was such a wonderful time to score, the plus minutes and such an important goal it was.
Manchester haven’t been there best lately and Arsenal took full advantage of it.

They did great matches previously, they didn't in the current match against Arsenal.
It is not a fewer shot on target, they only made a single shot on target. It is quite shameful that Man City attackers were only able to make 1 shot on target during the match. I'm sure everyone never expect this, how can Haaland and Alvarez fail to give big contribution in this match. Honestly, I really appreciated Arteta that he can make a solid defense to stop Haaland and Alvarez. 

Arsenal has a better midfield in this match. Rice-Jorginho-Odegaard performed impressively. They could create better chances for Arsenal attackers to score. Although Arsenal players only could make 2 shot on target, but they could make 12 shot attempts. It is obviously much better than Man City that only could make 4 shot attempts. 

I am really thrilled for Arsenal because the work they put into this game paid off in the end. It is not always simple to play with a side that already has a continuous winning record in the Premier League. Since Pep Guardiola took over as manager of Manchester City, the club has dominated the Premier League. It is a happy day for all Arsenal fans because they were able to bring an end to Manchester City's record of not losing against them in the Premier League since several years ago.

Today was their 13th match since their last victory against Man City, and it did not go well for the City team. What counts now is consistency in winning; that is the only way to stay at the top of the table. Arsenal has a chance to stay at the top if they maintain their current form for an extended period of time. I don't see them relenting now, especially after such a successful match day in the Premier League this season that will boost their morale more.

Manchester City off course did great but in this game, I saw they had fewer shorts on target. They created chances but not enough to score or be on target.

Pep Guardiola and his midfied was boring, the entire game was also boring not until the second half where we saw more of a lively game.
The substitution made by Mikel Arteta locked the midfied up. Thomas Partey, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice made sure to work together to keep the three points.
Arsenal deserves the win, they made sure they held Manchester City from opening them up.

According to the stats it looked like the game should have ended in a draw, but Arsenal played better and got a deserved win.

Kovacic should have been dismissed with a red card in the 35th minute. The referee was really generous to him. Also, after Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan, I don't think Kovacic is the right man for Manchester City. They need a more technical player in midfield. The chemistry of the team seems to be broken. Also, Nathan Ake was one of the best in the game but he made a very unfortunate touch on the ball and turned Martienelli's weak shot into a goal.

Manchester City are starting to make me pessimistic about the title this season. Where are you Keviiiiiin! :)

For the first time since 2015 Arsenal were able to beat Manchester City in an English Premier League game thanks to substitute Gabriel Martinelli strike in the closing minutes of their crucial encounter. After over 80 minutes of play, the looked like it was gonna end in stalemate but Mikel Arteta's substitute who has just returned from injury proved to be the difference. The eruption from the stands at the Emirates stadium after that Martinelli's goal was a true testament that Arsenal fans had waited for a moment like that for a very long time. Arsenal are now joint top of the league table with their north London neighbors Tottenham Hotspur.

The two teams have equal players and both have the same problem of missing players in the match; KDB and Rodri were the key men that were missing in the Manchester City side, while Arsenal played without their two main wingers, Saka and Martinelli, who came up in the second half.

Arsenal were able to solve some problems they were facing last season, which was squad depth. They can now play comfortably without some of their key players in the field and have a perfect result, while Manchester City's benched players are not as good as they used to be in the previous seasons, which I am sure will affect their title chase this season.


Arteta knew that Manchester City attackers were waiting for Arsenal defenders to make any errors, which is why he told the players to calm down and play perfectly to avoid mistakes. He also did a late substitution, which means he was waiting to see Pep's next plan in order to tackle the plan and get the desired result. That is why he made the last three substitutions, which changed the game entirely.

If you check again the stats, Man City won the ball possessions 52% and Arsenal only got 48% of the ball possessions. There is no significant difference between Man City and Arsenal, the match is quite equal if we consider the ball possessions. But it is very clear that Arsenal is superior if we check the shot attempts because Arsenal made 12 shot attempts, meanwhile Man City only got 4 shot attempts. It is because Man City missed the Bruyne who has a big role in managing the attacking. It is very different with Arsenal because their all key players can play at the match.

Well, Decline Rice played well during the match. But anyway, he is a defensive midfielder, he isn't a wing midfielder.

Today neither Arsenal nor Manchester City played the way a Premiere League title winner should play. About Manchester City, I'm sure their performance will improve quickly, but can Arsenal improve their level to win the PL? I don't believe in it, especially after losing the title last year.

Exactly, everyone blames Onana for the goal conceded, but in reality he has very little to blame, he had his vision covered by his defender, but in general there was confusion in the area on the part of his defenders and Onana was unable to save the shot, if he had saved that shot it would have been an extraordinary save and we would all have applauded André. It's a shame that for the English press Onana is becoming the scapegoat because of the goals conceded, but for me the blame should be placed on the entire Manchester United defense

The absence of several midfielders such as KDB and Rodri in this Manchester City squad has slightly made them lose their focus.
A few weeks ago when there was no KDB it was actually still under control because there was Rodri who was in midfield as an attack organiser for Manchester City but when Rodri was not in the squad everything became different where in this match Manchester City was like a chicken losing its mother. There was no attack with mature passes. Haaland was also locked out because he didn't get a decent ball supply and Arsenal were better prepared despite the absence of Saka in their squad but they were better so I think in this match Arsenal deserved 3 points.

Surprises always happen and it's quite difficult to see how the EPL will continue because in recent weeks there always seems to be surprises on display.
In this match Arsenal deserved to win but what bugged me was that Manchester City did not seem to play like Manchester City in the previous few matches.
They are really chaotic in terms of their schemes and attacks are not directed, the absence of midfielders as attack organisers makes Manchester City overwhelmed to face Arsenal this week and this is quite unfortunate when Rodri and Arteta are not in the squad Manchester City lose their spirit as the master of the field.

As for me, I know it will never be easy for either team, but I was expecting Liverpool to win the match because I thought Brighton was a little bit down on form because of their last match against Aston Villa, where they lost 6-1. But seriously, I saw today that Brighton is not really down in form but just weak against Aston Villa after making some mistakes. I also predicted that both teams would score, but I really thought that Liverpool would win.
 
For the Wolves match against Aston Villa I did not really attempt to predict the match because I know it will be a tough match, and with that, I believe anything can happen at end, so I did not bother myself and stake in the game because this is the kind of game that leads to goalless some time because it is a two-average team match or even with many goals. 
 
Last season, almost everyone thought that Arsenal would be the Premier League winner due to their great performances from the beginning of the season to some stages, but toward the end of the season, Arsenal started losing form, and easily Manchester City used the opportunity to win the Premier League. As for today's game, I never think that Arsenal will be able to win Manchester City, despite the fact that Manchester City is not in that good shape due to some injury issues with some players, especially De-Bruyne, their great midfielder, but seriously, Arsenal tried their best and won the three points from Manchester City.

I thought Aston Villa would win easily in this match but it seems I was wrong because Wolves were much better prepared to face them after beating Manchester City last week. Even though in the end Wolves failed to win again, a draw was better than nothing at all. Aston Villa, who were so favored in the match, could not do what they should and their chance to overtake Liverpool also failed.

Thanks to Martinelli, that goal was much needed. Finally Arsenal beat Manchester City. The more important thing is, they didn't give many positions to City. That means City is not an unbeateble team. When you play with right tactics and give your all, you can beat them.
Spurs and Gunners have same points now. City is 2 points behind. The league will be very long, the team that maintains continuity comes forward. It's important to have a winning streak and win big games like that. Everything looks alright for Arsenal now.

Apart from Kevin DeBruyne that was injured, Rodri is another Man City influencial player that was out due to Red card against Wolves meanwhile Guordiola allowed Gundogan and Mahrez to be sold thus his action had created a big vacuum in the club thus the club won't be able to defend their title this season with just few matches played they had lost two matches back.to back which is indeed a big blow to the team having considered plenty matches to be played and I am very sure they can't win of their remaining matches
