For a long time, Arsenal looked at the rest of England from the top, for a long time it seemed that this would be the season when the title could finally return to the north of London, but as soon as Manchester City felt that they could conquer the Island once again, they "grabbed" that chance ".
Since the derby season in the Premier League, there has been nothing, more precisely, the monologue of only one team has been seen - Manchester City, on the wings of maestro Kevin de Bruyne, "fixed" Arsenal at the Ittihad (4:1) and it seems that now nothing can stop them on on the way to the ninth title, and the seventh in the last 11 years. "Citizens" now have two points less than Arsenal, but also two games less.
Mikel Arteta and the "gunners" were shown how to win titles by De Bruyne, who hit the net twice (7th and 54th minute), and he also provided one assist for John Stones' goal in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half.
The only goal for Arsenal was the work of Rob Holding, but when everything was already decided - in the 86th minute. The unstoppable Erling Haaland put an end to the new great triumph in the 95th minute.
It was clear from the start of the game that this would be another City night, and Pep Guardiola's men took the lead from a somewhat unusual action for this team - with a goal reminiscent of the somewhat forgotten "long ball" football in England.
John Stones "shot" the ball, Erling Haaland received it in the center and passed for Kevin de Bruyne, and the Belgian once again showed why he has been one of the best footballers on the planet for years. Majstorski outwitted three "gunners" and beat Aaron Ramsdjell with a precise shot from 18 meters.
You can watch the first goal of the "citizens" and the seventh of De Bruyne against Arsenal in the Premier League (he didn't give anyone more) HERE.
Twenty minutes later Haaland and De Bruyne "copied" the action at the goal, but this time Ben White managed to stop the City midfielder, after which Haaland had four great chances to end the story at the "Ittihad" already in the first half.
However, at the end of the first half, John Stones scored a header (assisted by De Bruyne) and it seems that everything was already settled in the east of Manchester. Watch the goal of the City stopper HERE.
Interestingly, it was De Bruyne's 24th assist of the season, the most of any player in Europe's top five leagues.
In the continuation, the unreal De Bruyne reached the eighth goal in the 11th game against Arsenal - the Belgian's second goal in the match, which was again assisted by Haaland, see on the next LINK.
City controlled the game until the end, and did not score a goal Holding didn't change things much on the field.
He put an end to the great triumph Holland in the 95rd minute.
Until the end of the season, City expect duels with Fulham, West Ham, Leeds, Everton, Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford, while Arsenal will play against Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton.
