Match report & 4 talking points as Gunners humble reigning champions


Arsenal hammered the rival Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and beat the dark cityzens 5-1 in Nordlondon

It only took 104 seconds Arsenal to take the lead in the Emirates stadium when Martin Odegaard used a defense error to dismiss the hosts at the front. If it hadn’t been for a blatant Miss from Kai Havertz, City could have had two goals when the half -time pipe in the capital sounded.

But Arsenals Professional in the first half was not very important after the break. Although Erling Haaland briefly goes out for the visitors, the efforts of the second half led Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Havertz and Ethan Nwaners to a emphatic and unforgettable victory.

How the game unfolds

The back in September led to chaos, fireworks and more than a splash of bad blood, with the tempting duel on Sunday a similar excitement within just two minutes. A mistake by Manuel Akanji gave the possession of Arsenal in the city, and Skipper Odegaard punished the mistake to Havertz ‘Cut-Back when the hosts took the lead.

After Gabriel Martinelli had seen that City had led to Arsenal’s Opener over Stefan Ortega only three minutes, City was only contaminated with her energetic hosts. They were able to do exactly that when she took out the stab from a lively matter, with Josko Gvardiol in the middle of the half of almost the middle of the half when David Raya tipped his header into the crossbar.

Especially when City seemed to take their step, another error arsenal provided an advantage to expand its advantage. This time Mateo Kovacic was expropriated by Declan Rice on the edge of his own penalty area, but the out-of-sorts Havertz, the hectare had time and space to choose his place, inexplicably shot from 12 meters with the gate, that of 12 meters was, inexplicably fired.

City ended the first half at the top when Raya was put into practice again to Savinhos and the almost post drive was implemented again and the reigning master began the second period with the control of the game.

It didn’t take long for them to turn their territorial dominance into a balance. In the first half it was anonymous who injured the defense of Arsenal, rose over William Saliba and went beyond Raya in the 55th minute.

But Arsenal reacted at a devastating speed when she regained the lead a minute later, and again he loosened a stubborn city that came by in her own third. Phil Foden was the guilty perpetrator on this occasion when his side ball was picked up by Party, who then made an effort that Ortega surpassed with the help of a considerable distraction in front of John Stones.

City has shown her ability to destroy himself too regularly this season, and they suffered another blue implosion when arsenal produced a fast third. Lewis-Skelly was the architect of a nerve-wracking strike who received the ball in the penalty area before inserting himself into the back corner of the left hand area to ward off the shot of the young person.

Arsenal was not quite done when it was added to the two previous titles of the Premier League in misery, with Havertz finally entering the act in the 76th minute. The redemption for the lack of a sitter in the first half achieved a clinical finish to limit an excellent counterattack before Nwaneri rounded off the rating with a similarly impressive strike in the stop time.

The result elevates Arsenal to Liverpool within six points and sends a warning to the red, while the city is taking fourth place, but sits nine points behind the second -placed canon.

Take a look at the 5: 1 reviews of the Arsenal player.

Arsenal is still permanent outsiders for the Premier League title of this season, but they gave a warning to Liverpool on Sunday. Thrashing City has never been easier, but the Gunners blended in a gigantic victory over the reigning champions, which they keep in the race for the top position.

The outfit in North -London knew that the defeat would leave them nine points behind the red after playing a game more than their title opponents, but they showed only a few signs of nerves at the emirates. The race in the lead helped, but they remained calm, even under pressure of urban pressure and after Haaland equalized.

Her display in the second half turned out to be far too much for the city, and even Liverpool would have found it immensely difficult to deal with the speed, wildness and ruthlessness of Mikel Areteta’s side after the break. They were devastating in the transition and was largely perfect in defense because they frustrated their visitors, with a number of people with immense performance played.

When Liverpool slips, Arsenal will be there.

Pep Guardiola’s team has become a synonym for breakdowns this season. You have given a three-goal lead to Feyenoord, two gate pillows to Brentford and Paris Saint-Germain and rarely saw each other when you defend your advantage.

For more than half of the affair on Sunday, the city appeared in a striking distance from Arsenal, and Haaland’s equalization seemed to achieve a nervous trib. But when they fell back quickly, it was a familiar implosion of a team that was currently so mentally fragile.

Other mistakes crept in and the gaps opened when Arsenal fully exploited their out-of-sorts opponents and Guardiola answered more questions about the flimility of his site after a humiliating second half.

Before the kick-off, a lot was made from the feud between Haaland and Gabriel, with the couple acted in the Etihad Stadium during the enthusiastic 2-2 draw at the beginning of this season. The Norwegian threw the ball into the head of the Arsenal defender in the head of John Stones after the compensation of John Stones before he announced Mikel Areta after the pipe “to remain humble”.

However, he made a miserable start of capital. After he had already endured Gabriel when he celebrated on Odegaard’s opener in the second minute in his face, he entered the half with only six touches and a precise pass.

While he got his name on the goal sheath with a typical clinical header, he was similarly isolated and anonymous after Arsenal’s quick-fire double had taken the game of City’s game and fought half an hour in battles with Saliba and Gabriel as the Visitors.

Haaland had the fewest touch of an outfield starter after he was finished when he was only nine, and he will be forced to eat modest cakes when he was observed how his side was torn into pieces.

Myles Lewis Skelly

Lewis-Skelly has long been evaluated by Arsenal under the most promising academy products, but injuries have brought him into the spotlight this season. The 18-year-old was a regular feature of the Gunners backline.

The youngster, who can also play in midfield, has increasingly produced striking displays, but saved his best in Red for Sunday. His defensive work was extraordinary – he did five recovery, two releases and was not even over – but it was his attacking endeavor to continue to satisfy him in the home quantity.

Of course, his goal will be the main focus, a marauding run that is covered by an impressive finish – even if Ortega should have been better with the effort. But his regular outbreaks and trust in general play were just as pleasant, and a deserved standing ovation echoed around the Emirates when he left the field late.

If you imitate the meditation celebration of Haaland after his strike in the second half, the adoration of the arsenal believers will certainly win.
