Following a thrilling 2-2 draw between Manchester City and Arsenal, Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta are the only Premier League managers whose sides have not yet lost a game this season.
Guardiola’s team has only conceded points in one game this season, and that came during their most recent play on Sunday, in contrast to Arteta’s Gunners, who have drew two games.
It’s hard to tell whether the £378,846-a-week manager was satisfied with the outcome or not because he is such a competitive competitor.
Pep Guardiola appeared noticeably happy after John Stones’ close-range strike found the back of the net, which makes sense given that his team had shown resiliency to earn a point.
However, Guardiola may also have wondered if Arsenal was simply there to be taken advantage of.
In the end, Manchester City committed a number of errors that contributed to their ability to tie the match.
Townsend expressed surprise at what the Man City player did against Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola, for example, brought up Kyle Walker’s poor defense in relation to Gabriel Magalhaes’ headed goal that gave Arsenal a 2-1 lead in the first half.
In a similar vein, the hosts might have done a better job of shutting down Riccardo Calafiori rather than allowing him the room and opportunity to put the visitors ahead.
Due to Leandro Trossard’s injury, the North London team was reduced to 10 men in the second half, and Manchester City may have easily defeated them on an other day.
