Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City
Again! Manchester City went 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League after an exhibition first half blew Arsenal away at the Emirates.
Is there any team on the planet that can live with Manchester City in this form? Barca…PSG? You could watch a thousand football games and not see a group of players so good they can break the spirit of a club like Arsenal in 45 minutes.
The betting odds say the league title is going to Manchester, but after City beat Arsenal so easily in the EFL Cup Final, football betting pundits were looking for a reaction from the Gunners. They did; but it was one of horror when they realised just how far away the Sky Blues are! In a brilliant first half Leroy Sane beat three players before finding Bernardo Silva who scored the first with a sublime finish. And the second goal was equally stunning as Sane fed Sergio Aguero who slid the ball through for David Silva to control brilliantly and fire home.
Sane got on the score-sheet himself after another slick team move, and while Arsenal did have their moments, they weren’t as incisive and, crucially, the City defence put their bodies on the line to thwart any threat.
The game was over at half time but Arsenal had a chance early in the second half to bring it back to life with a penalty; but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s effort was comfortably saved by Ederson. Arsenal did dominate possession for much of the second half but Aguero came closest to adding another and the City players were clearly happy to save their energy for the next challenge.
You can’t fail to be impressed; and feel a little sorry for Arsenal.
