I couldn't agree more. I like this type of player. They are working hard for the team, are never too focused on looking great themselves and put the team's success above all else. The times come when they can reward themselves with an outstanding goal like that. As you said, an unexperienced player can't do that, but it is not only about experience. It is a lot about space orientation on the pitch and a well functioning memory of the game situation that a player noticed right before receiving the cross ball. If Gündogan didn't know that the goalkeeper was standing where he stood, he wouldn't have tried to softly ship the ball into the left bottom corner. You can tell from the power that Gündogan applied that he perfectly understood the game situation in that moment and exactly knew what would be needed to take the ball into the back of the net. Too many players go too hard in many situations. I love to see smart scorers who know that just a slight touch and decent precision is enough to beat the goalkeeper because you can tell from his positioning what he will be speculating on. That is next level soccer. No doubt that a 30 yards shot into the upper right corner is nice to watch, but the smart goals are as well once you understand what it takes to develop that ability.

I think it’s quite obvious at this point on Manchester City winning the EPL. They’ve been playing amazing football and do deserve their wins and the EPL title at the end of the season. The game against Everton earlier showed Man City at its finest as they won comfortably and didn’t even need to bring out the big guns(De Bruyne).
It was great to see Arsenal compete and actually have a shot at winning the league and it’s almost sad to see them come to the realization of losing out on the EPL title. They had a good shot at it  and should try to be happy and content with second place spot. Perhaps next season would be different.

Arsenal winning there 2 remaining games isn't going to make any difference now. Its 4points difference between them @Manchester City  @Arsenal and a chance for Manchester City to easily push that point gap to 7points. So, should Manchester City even get to lose the rest of there games afterwards, they'll still have a point that keeps them at the top till the league ends. The EPL title is decided already, Arsenal made that decision in there series of draws/loses and its a big lose for Arsenal's plan A. At least, they've got to settle for a plan B where they get to qualify for the UCL next season.  Pep could chill now while setting his eyes on the one title that matters now, the UCL.

I'm really angry at Arsenal's performance today. You just can't let this kind of a game slip through your fingers while you are in a title race. Brighton were in a vulnerable state actually after losing to Everton by a big score. But Brighton are still playing magically against big teams of the league. This was one of the examples for that.

But this was still a very heavy loss for Arsenal home. What were they thinking in the first place? You had only the Premier League title chance left in hand.

Manchester City's achievements are very good because they have won in their last five matches and they have to maintain their best position to win in the Premier League this season. Manchester City don't underestimate the strength of their opponents and still have to try to win in every game. In the match against Everton, Manchester City succeeded in showing the strength of their defense, which was difficult for Everton to penetrate even though they had tried several shots at goal but none of them managed to penetrate Manchester City's goal.

I wouldn't call it a shame if fans yell and show emotions. I am not saying you are wrong and it is certainly not smart to scream that you are the next champions when in reality there are still many miles to go. But calling it a shame is probably a bit too hard. Now the game between Arsenal and Brighton was kind of a shocker. I knew that Brighton is strong and not to be underestimated, but 0-3?

While Manchester City did their job with a great performance, there are no more questions to be asked who is going to be the next EPL winner. But taking everything into account, even if it was exciting to see Arsenal compete with City for a while, City deserves it.

Arsenal have done a fantastic job compared to the squad they have. I don't think anyone would have expected such a performance from them at the beginning of the season. If they had been a little calmer, maybe they could have finished the season better. Anyway, at least they're promising everyone hope for the upcoming season... Manchester City have three games left in the league. Even if they win just one of these matches, they will be champions regardless of their opponent's results. I think they've completely finished the league now. Now is the time for them to focus on the champions league and the fa cup final.

My appreciation for brighton to destroy arsenal in emiratest stadium. King city is winning EPL right now. It's a big shame for arsenal fans to yelling EPL trophy before the end of season. Just because it was leading the standing at the from early to middle and it doesn't mean if arsenal would be winning it easily. What a great performance from brighton. I put a lot of respect to this club. Mc allister played so well against arsenal. De zerbi is also a phenomenal coach that can change brighton in a short time.

What a great performance against arsenal. The gunners must be crying LMAO. I do remember how cocky the gunners when arsenal leads the standing with huge gaps of points to the manchester city.

I just wanna laugh to the arsenal.  

The match against chelse will become the most important match for manchester city caused by the win against chelsea will make city able to lock the win for EPL title this season.

Arsenal played so far 36 games while City played 35 and they are in the first place with 4 points gap.
Basically Arsenal have to win the other two games vs Nottingham and Wolves. Could that be guaranteed? I doubt. At the same time, they have to see City losing all their 3 games vs Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford. That's quite impossible. Manchester City will be declared champions by Monday 21, at the end of Chelsea match.

Just one game and it is all over but I feel so much anger to know that all that the Gunners have been fighting for since the beginning of the campaign has been for nothing. Imagine when everyone was tipping Arsenal to fail before entering the second half of the season but they [Arsenal]  proved them wrong, not until when we have like 6 games to go before they started falling apart. This is so shameful to me, with all those dreams of lifting the EPL title after so many years, all gone like that. Hmm.
Well like they said it is not over until it's over, can the Blues shine one more time for the Gunners to have a little hope? How possible can that be for Chelsea to beat City when they meet on the 21th of this month. Anything can happen though, I have this hope that City will lose to Chelsea after getting into the UCL finals and draw one or two games on the EPL then who knows, Arsenal might come back and win the remaining matches  to be Champions, I'm just saying but I just wish Arsenal get to be Champions this season.

There are new speculations that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Pochettino for the job but let's wait until an official announcement by them of course. Pochettino can be one of the right people for managing Chelsea maybe who knows. It is better to have a manager who knows the league and teams very well of course. It speeds up the adaptation process a lot.

After that Pochettino will need to make the right moves for Chelsea in the transfer window starting by a striker transfer. Osimhen has been a target for them for a long time and hopefully Pochettino would support this transfer. Maybe he can have an intention to sign Kane too as he is his old player. But it might be better to spend an amount more than 100 million euros on a younger talent in my opinion.

I am not an Arsenal fan, but I wholeheartedly supported Arsenal for this league victory. I was disappointed, but does it matter since I am not their fan? They've learned a valuable lesson this season, and I hope they can apply it again next year to have a better season and, maybe, win the title.  All I can say is that Arsenal had a chance to win the title after so many years and blew it with some silly blunders.


That cannot be reiterated and Chelsea must play with the players they purchased. The introduction of a new coach by next season should be a good lift for the club, and the coach's commitment to understand and help these players play better football together is what counts most this moment.  No player can be returned to the team from which they were obtained; instead, the team must manage and develop them to fit the style and taste of football that they desire.

The best shot they had to win the premier league was waisted Saka expected in big games could not show up he looks tired
Congratulations to City if they win the next games ahead they will win the league
Arsenal fans are now quiet they have immediately stopped boasting of winning the league

Leicester city has the chance to get out of the relegation zone in tomorrow's game if they can beat Liverpool. One advantage for them is playing in front of their supporters at the king Power stadium and hope they can maximize this opportunity to get full points in order to save their ranking to get out of the relegation zone.

Everton, who lost in today game, are very much in danger of being shifted by Leicester City if they get a win in tomorrow's game. Several teams at the bottom of the standings have quite tough opponents for the rest of the season. They have to fight as much as possible to stay in the EPL next season.

That's the surprise I'm talking about. When Brighton faces a strong team, their performance can be quite threatening, and they may even be able to match their game. But when they face a less prominent team, Brighton hasn't been playing well in some matches. This team is worth considering when we want to bet on the Premier League football.

Chelsea has brought in good midfielders and attackers, not only the managers that have been changed, the likes of Enzo and Felix should have improved their games but not much changes, I think the main problem is they lack competency in how they play, this style is not good for Chelsea but now that Pochettino has taken the deal of 3 years, they just have to improve this time else, all the players need to be sent back to where they were purchase with interest. 


I think that was because of the warzone of relegation, Nottingham Forest don't want to end up in relegation and they have to brace up and while Chelsea see them as minor teams, they utilized all the opportunities they had, it took Chelsea 51 minutes to equalized that match and instead of descending the same energy, they open a chance for Nottingham Forest to equalized again, a minute they are motivated and the next minute, they are back to playing rubbish again.

I hope that Arsenal will learn from their mistake and make their fans proud by next season. It is a sad thing that after feeling that you have achieved victory and a little mistake everything got messed up. Next season Arsenal will be playing in the champions league and we hope to see a better performance from them. Pep has done a great job for coming from behind to snatch the trophy from Arsenal this shows that he is a great coach. Football is full of surprises. Life is all about changes and that was what affected Arsenal's performance lately inconsistency.

Arsenal just know how to dash the hopes of their supporters. When they were at the top of the table towards the tail end of last year, I thought by december they would go back to their default settings but they kept on winning their matches and I was like wow, this season is different and they are going to prove their doubters wrong. But from recent turn out of events, the league has slipped off from their hands and Manchester City is going  to be crowned champion of the EPL and the wait for the league title for Arsenal continues.

This is the closest that Arsenal has come to winning the English Premier League title since the last time they win it in 2004 and sadly they failed to win it.
Arsenal actually did a great job and put out a great contentious fight but when you're competing against a club like Manchester City, you gotta be on your toes till the prize is finally won and that's what Arsenal failed to do. Manchester needs just one win from their remaining league fixtures to retain the title and just like Pep Guardiola was assuring the fans if the club after their win today, they'll be champions of England once again.

Manchester City are at the edge of lifting the league trophy after Arsenal lost to Brighton today, now a win in their next game to Brighton will put the trophy in their hands for the third time in a role. Arsenal fans will be so disappointed with the results of today’s game. The Premier league is finally over, this loss to Brighton just gave Manchester City a clear part to league victory. What can I say Arsenal always find a way to disappoint their fans.
