The London team only scored 1 goal due to Saka's goal on the 11m mark, while Man City had 3 goals. Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Gealish and Erling Haaland are among those who put their names on the scoreboard. Speaking after the match, Jack Grealish said:
“I thought Arsenal played better than us. Man City had 36% possession of the ball? I don't even want to say much about it."
Man City controlled only 36% of the ball at the Emirates, the lowest level in a single match for a team led by Pep Guardiola in a peak coaching career. Before Arsenal, Man City also had their lowest stats in the Premier League under Guardiola both in terms of ball control (36.4%), passing accuracy (72.76%) and successful passes ( 219).
Although the ball control is not much, but the ability to take advantage of Man City is much better. The Citizens have always been an obsession for Arsenal because the Gunners have lost their last 11 Premier League matches, the longest streak against an opponent in the history of the tournament.
The 3 points helped Man City overtake Arsenal to lead the Premier League 2022/23, both teams have 51 points, but the Green Man ranked above thanks to more than the sub-index.
