Solid and realistic, Manchester City claimed a crucial triumph in the Premier League title race by beat Arsenal 3-1 away from home this Wednesday, in a postponed game of the 12th round.
With this result, the team led by coach Pep Guardiola reached 51 points (the same as tonight’s opponent) but takes the lead thanks to the better goal difference (36 against 26), although Arsenal has played one game less.
“In the first half they were better than us, in the second we improved a lot. In the break I told them that we couldn’t attack without the ball, only defending. It happened because they did it very well. In the second half we were more aggressive”.
Belgian Kevin De Bruyne put the defending champions ahead in the 24th minute and Englishman Bukayo Saka equalized with a penalty before the break (42′).
In the second half, Jack Grealish (72′) and Norwegian Erling Haaland (82′) gave the ‘Citizens’ victory at the Emirates Stadium.
