In the most excited duel between Arsenal and the “Sky Blues”, guests experience a complete debacle. A top star has to endure an unpleasant moment.
Manchester City and star coach Pep Guardiola had to accept the next bitter bankruptcy. From the point of view of the guests, it was 1: 5 (0: 1) in the top game at FC Arsenal. The “Gunners”, on the other hand, consolidated second place in the table due to the furious winning victory in the chasing duel of the Premier League – and Kai Havertz was even able to get a remarkable misshot. Havertz scored the fourth goal of the hosts (76th) and assisted for the early lead.
Martin Ödegaard (2nd), Thomas Teye Party (56.), Myles Lewis-Skelly (62.) and Ethan Nwaneri (90.+3) met alongside Havertz for the Londoner, Erling Haaland (55th) had in the meantime balanced. Ilkay Gündogan was not used for the Citizens.
In the first half, however, national player Havertz had missed the 2-0 with a lot of time: Declan Rice conquered the ball in the pressing and spanked it to Havertz, who had in central position about two seconds, but shot next to that on the right Gate of the German Stefan Ortega Moreno. .
Spicy: Lewis-Skelly celebrated his goal with the “meditation jubilee”, which is actually a trademark of Haaland. Reason: In September last year, the Norwegian had the young Arsenal professional with the words “Who the hell are you?” Chancellor.
The result ensured satisfaction at Arsenal, with 50 points the sovereign leader FC Liverpool (56) remains in sight, but has one game less. City, on the other hand, that had not previously lost in the league in the new year, has to look back with 41 points than fourth.
