Arsenal can turn it around, says Wenger

March 03 10:38 2018

Leroy Sané was unplayable against Arsenal, involved in creating goals for Bernardo Silva and David Silva before scoring City’s third himself, and the Germany global echoed Guardiola’s call for City to avoid complacency. “Now it will be very hard for other teams to fight Manchester City“. “We were clinical. We scored three outstanding goals”.

As Manchester City fans sang it “was just like Wembley”, just a motley number of the Arsenal fans at the half-empty Emirates roused themselves to respond to the taunting.

The young German’s goal drew the first of many boos from the home fans in the less than full stadium as their team headed for home and away defeats by City for the first time in 42 years.

Chelsea are also two points behind Tottenham Hotspur in the race for a top-four finish that will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League.

Sixteen points clear at the top of the Premier League, a first trophy in England and two consecutive 3-0 defeats over Arsenal in London and still Pep Guardiola is not happy.

They took advantage of every defensive weakness in the first half.

“This is definitely not the same Arsenal as back then and we meet them in what is a positive moment for us, even if we’ve got lots of games coming up with the league and the Coppa Italia”.

Antonio Conte has saluted “unstoppable” Manchester City as the Chelsea manager prepares for Sunday’s clash with the runaway Premier League leaders.

The Gunners are set to face Brighton and Hove Albion on the fourth of March in the 29th round of the English Premier league.

But Guardiola says there is plenty of work still to be done, starting on Sunday when City will host reigning champions Chelsea.

“They will want a reaction, but we need to make sure we can look after our own business”, Hughton said.

Bruno Genesio’s visitors dominated much of the play at the Stade Michel d’Ornano, but Ivorian midfielder Diomande climbed highest to flick a 77th-minute free-kick from Stef Peeters into the far corner.

Sane laid yet another assist and this time to David Silva, who doubled the lead 13 minutes later.

A change at the top for Arsenal is now increasingly inevitable as Arsene Wenger’s time in charge becomes untenable. The Arsenal crowd was incensed, booing loudly at halftime and at the final whistle.

“They are tougher, they have bigger squads”, Wenger said.

Arsenal wasted opportunities and the most clear-cut came in the 53rd. But City goalkeeper Ederson guessed correctly and easily dived down to catch the effort.
