A shock at the top! For the 33rd day of the Premier League, Manchester City hoped to take advantage of the current excitement of leader Arsenal to achieve success at the Etihad Stadium and reduce the gap at the top of the championship.<\/p>\n
Suffice it to say that the stakes of this Sunday English clash were enormous\u2026. It was indeed imperative to win for the Citizens who were six points behind with one game less than Arsenal. Indeed, in the event of victory, Arteta’s men would take a big step towards this title which has eluded them since 2004.<\/p>\n
The tone was set from the quarter of an hour into this meeting. Rayan Cherki opened the scoring for the Citizens with a ground strike after eliminating Gabriel Magalhaes, Rice and finally Saliba. But the Gunners had something to answer for and Havertz responded a few moments later. The London striker takes advantage of a big mistake by Donnarumma. Put under pressure on the left in his small area, the Italian goalkeeper tries to free himself with his foot. It is countered by Havertz’s right foot for 1-1.<\/p>\n
Citizens and Gunners return to the locker room back to back at the end of an intense first act, but Erling Haaland will be the talk of the town in the 65th minute, when Doku crosses for Rodri who misses his recovery, but not the Norwegian who finishes with his left foot to give the Citizens the advantage again.<\/p>\n
After an intense meeting worthy of the stakes, the verdict falls. Manchester City wins against Arsenal and revives the title race by promising a suspenseful end to the season. Guardiola’s men are just three points behind Arsenal,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
