As of today, Arsenal leads the Premier League table with a 5-point gap over the champions Manchester City who are right behind them.
Yesterday (Friday) they met as part of the last 32 of the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium of the Blues and managed to win 0:1 with a goal by Nathan Ake, the Dutch stopper who took advantage of a lack of attention in Mikel Arteta's defense.
After the game, City coach Pep Guardiola summed up the game and gave compliments to his former assistant: "It was a tough game against a strong opponent.
We didn't expect that Arsenal would come to keep a personal player on a player, it made everything more difficult.
We couldn't get Erling Holland to work too much, but a win is a win and we move on to the next stage.
I'm pretty sure they're going to make adjustments by then.
I have a feeling that they will play against us in a different way in the league."
Mikel Arteta analyzed the loss from his side: "We are disappointed, we could have achieved more from this game but unfortunately we were eliminated.
We dominated the second half and got into good situations and I didn't take advantage of them and in games like this you get punished for those things.
And yet, we can take a lot of positive things from this game."
were we wrong
