Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring less than seven minutes into the game, with John Stones making it 2-0 late in the first half. De Bruyne scored his second goal in 54’ minutes to give Man City a 3-0 lead and a comfortable cushion for the remainder of the game.

Rob Holding gave Arsenal a lifeline after finding the net in 86’ minutes, but this turned out to be all that the London club could come with. It was City who would go on to score another one, with Erling Haaland scoring a beauty in the final minute of stoppage time.

Arsenal still remains at the top of the Premier League standings with 75 points compared to City’s 73 points. However, Manchester Club has two games in hand and controls their destiny. This was something that their manager Pep Guardiola acknowledged during his post-game press conference.  

“Absolutely my position now because it’s in our hands, “said Guardiola when asked in which position he would rather like to be in.” We have to win the games in hand, but it depends on us. Until today, I preferred Arsenal’s position.”

On the other hand, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta said that his team still has a shot and doesn’t intend to give up.

“We want to compete; we are not going to give up, it is five games, and in this league, anything can happen,” said Arteta.

After Aston Villa and Sheffield United opened the 2019/20 season resume with 0-0 draw, Man City and Arsenal faced off in a highly-anticipated derby at Etihad Stadium. The match didn’t start good for Arsenal, as midfielder Granit Xhaka and center-back Pablo Mari had to leave the game due to injuries in the first 25 minutes. It turned out that this was just the beginning.

City attacked for the better part of the first half and managed to squeeze in a goal with almost no time left on the clock thanks to forward Raheem Sterling. Then four minutes in the second half, David Luiz, who substituted in for injured Mari, received a red card after taking down Riyad Mahrez in the penalty box.

Kevin De Bruyne converted the penalty kick to give Man City 2-0 lead, while young midfielder Phil Foden scored in overtime for a final result of 3-0.

With this win, Manchester City fortified the second spot on Premier League standings with 60 points. Arsenal, on the other hand, fell further behind the European competition spot as they currently sit at ninth place with 41 points.
