Luck is in Arsenal’s favor as Mikel Arteta finally surpasses Pep Guardiola
A crucial diversion and potentially a diversion in the fate of many players involved in this growing affair.
Arsenal secured their first Premier League win over Manchester City since December 2015 and Mikel Arteta’s first points against his former employers.
Otherwise it would have been thirteen defeats in a row, but it was Arsenal who enjoyed their luck when the numbers finally turned.
City themselves have lost consecutive league games for the first time since December 2018, after Gabriel Martinelli’s opportunistic effort left Nathan Ake and Ederson behind for a win that could prove significant in the fast-growing title race.
FT Arsenal-Manchester City 1-0
Manchester City had four shots in this match. These are the fewest shots Pep Guardiola has taken in a top game since April 2010 for Barcelona against Espanyol (also four).
