I have faced the likes of Rudiger and Van Dijk before but to be honest I have never seen such a dangerously aggressive player as He’s before, Kudos to Him for that display”, Man city Star Haland reveals the ONE Arsenal player that really impressed Him last night – Not Gabriel and Not



 


Despite the fact that I have competed against players such as Rudiger and Van Dijk in the past, I can honestly say that I have never witnessed a player who is as dangerously aggressive as He is. Kudos to Him for that display. Haland, a star player for Manchester City, spoke about the one Arsenal player who left a lasting impression on him last night. There is neither Gabriel nor Saliba.



On Sunday afternoon, Arsenal defeated Manchester City by a score of 5-1, a victory that was both resounding and extremely impressive. As a result, Arsenal moved back to within six points of Liverpool, who are currently leading the Premier League.



The hosts got off to a rousing start in north London, and they found themselves in the lead within two minutes after capitalising on an error made by Manuel Akanji. Outside of his own penalty area, the defender gave up possession of the ball far too easily, and Martin Odegaard was the one who put the finishing touch on the game, which caused the Emirates Stadium to go absolutely wild.

At the halfway point of the first half, David Raya made a remarkable reflex save that prevented Josko Gvardiol’s header from hitting the crossbar. However, the Gunners should have been able to extend their lead several minutes later when Kai Havertz missed a glorious opportunity to do so from close range.



Erling Haaland scored an equaliser for City ten minutes after the restart, converting Savinho’s floated cross to the far post with an accurate header. City had shown glimpses of their quality throughout the first half of the match up until that point.


However, two goals scored by Arsenal in a short amount of time put the game beyond City’s reach. A minute after the visitors had tied the score, the Gunners were able to regain their advantage thanks to a deflected effort from Thomas Partey. Myles Lewis-Skelly then conjured up an impressive third goal just after the hour mark, and then he taunted Haaland by imitating the Norwegian’s meditation celebration.

15 minutes before the end of the game, Havertz made amends for the mistake he had made earlier in front of the goal, which made things even more difficult for Pep Guardiola and his players. As a result of a swift and devastating counterattack, City’s porous rearguard was carved open, and the German leathered past Stefan Ortega to add some gloss to the scoreline.

One more could be done if there was still time. The dazzling Ethan Nwaneri scored a stunning fifth goal for the Gunners. He cut inside and bent a wicked left-footed effort into the far corner to add more misery to the encounter between the Gunners and the visitors.

Another humiliating loss means that City will lose their top-four berth if Chelsea wins against West Ham United on Monday night. Arsenal’s victory, on the other hand, helps them keep pace with Liverpool, who is currently in first place in the table.
