Manchester City and Arsenal FC meet in a complex match, where both teams tried to place themselves in the best possible way in a disputed fight for leadership. However, the defenses of both teams were very solid and this meant that there were not many chances in the duel. In the end, a deflection by Aké after a shot by Martinelli was enough for Mikel Arteta's team to emerge victorious.

 

With a lot of luck, Martinelli's shot sneaks into Ederson's goal after hitting Aké and Arsenal take the lead at the end of the game. Arsenal, with a lot of personality, ended up holding the ball well and nullified any attempt by Manchester City to tie the match. A substantial victory for the Gunner team, which finally manages to beat Manchester City in a Premier League match.

Those led by Mikel Arteta remain undefeated so far this season, with six wins and two draws, placing them in third place in the general table with 20 points. Manchester City has just recorded its second loss of the campaign, as they lost to Wolves on Matchday 7 of the Premier League. The citizen team placed itself in an important way last season, but it seems that it is not getting off to a good start in the current one, and the new signings are not at the best level either.

 

Pep Guardiola praised Arteta before the game

Josep Guardiola was full of praise for Mikel Arteta before facing off this Sunday in the big Premier match between Arsenal and City at the Emirates Stadium: “They trusted him and now the results are here as a consequence. Now Arsenal has a coach for many years. Know the club, love the club. It's impossible to get better than that. Mikel is a very demanding guy with the directive: 'Give me money to spend'. He also has this talent. He pushes everyone.'
