The illusion is gradually destroyed, Arsenal does not win in the Premier League or the FA Cup

A tough match in the third round was defined by two late goals, an own goal by Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior in the 80th minute and a goal in added time by Colombian Luis Díaz. Arsenal have lost four of their last seven games in all competitions. In three of those losses, the team has not scored.

This statistic, in addition to the injury to striker Gabriel Jesus, could tempt coach Mikel Arteta to look to add in the winter transfer market. Otherwise, the Gunners risk shortcomings this season, as they did last season when the team faded at the end and lost the Premier League title to Manchester City.

City, for their part, look in great form ahead of the start of the second half of the campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of second division Huddersfield, in the notable return of Kevin De Bruyne after five months out due to injury. City looks in prime shape again heading into the second half of the season, with a 5-0 win over second-tier Huddersfield in the FA Cup notable for the return from injury of Kevin De Bruyne after nearly five months out.

De Bryune had not played since injuring his hamstring against Burnley on August 11. The Belgian player came on in the 57th minute, when City was up 2-0 and sent a cross to Jeremy Doku, who scored the final goal of the duel at the Etihad Stadium.

The sensational team of the Championship

Wrexham, a fourth division team owned by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, won in the third round. While Premier League teams such as West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Luton drew at home against lower division rivals. Wrexham beat Shrewsbury, one of their local rivals who play in a division above, 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from Tom O'Connor.
