Despite an incredible blunder from Gianluigi Donnarumma, Manchester City are more alive than ever in the race for the Premier League title. The Mancunians beat Arsenal 2-1 in a crucial match.
Acquired on the success of Rayan Cherki (16th) and Erling Haaland (65th), this success allows City to come back to within 3 points of the Londoners. But Manchester is a game behind. Suffice to say that the succession of Liverpool will be decided on nothing, on a point perhaps or on a goal. For the moment, the goal difference is favorable to Arsenal (+37 against +36).
Manchester City had the immense merit of getting back up after Donnarumma’s error. A few seconds after Cherki’s gem for the 1-0, the Italian goalkeeper cleared Kai Havert, who had come to the press. Even if his kicking game has never been his strength, there is something tragic about making such a blunder in such a match.
Even though they hit Donnarumma’s posts twice in the second half, the Gunners were largely dominated by Manchester City led by a great Cherki. At the top of his art, the defector from Lyon truly establishes himself as Pep Guardiola’s playing master. His goal in the 16th minute was a reminder that he was indeed an exceptional player.
