In the last two weeks Manchester City have gained momentum and opened a gap on their rivalry in the Premier League, both because of their wonderful ability and because of the critical loss of points by Liverpool and Chelsea.
With ten wins in a row, the Blues arrived today (Saturday) at the Etihad Stadium for an away match against Arsenal with the aim of raising the gap at the top to 11 points, just before the meeting between the Blues and Mighty Reds tomorrow at Stamford Bridge.
Joao Cansello started in Pep Guardiola's squad despite the hard attack he and his family went through but he and his teammates in the defensive squad were in shock in the 31st minute.
Tierney burst from the left and found Sake in the box and the latter continued with a flat kick by touching Ederson's net.
0: 1 to Arsenal.
In the 57th minute, the equalizer came.
Granit Jaka pulled on Bernardo Silva's shirt inside the extension, the Portuguese fell and after a VAR check a penalty was set for the champion, which was translated by Riyad Mahraz to 1: 1.
Two minutes later another turning point came in the confrontation when Gabriel left Arsenal with 10 players, when he stopped Jesus in the offense, picked up a yellow card and then then picked up another yellow card.

When it looked like the game would go to a draw, the champion once again showed how much character she has.
American Laporte's attempt inside the box was blocked by Arsenal's defense and then Rodry slipped between the Gunners' defense and managed to roll to the net with his left foot.
