Man City Vs Arsenal

Nathan Ake saved a 1-0 victory for Pep Guardiola as he was hailed as Manchester City’s hero.

The Gunners, led by Mikel Arteta, lead champions City by five points in the Premier League.

Leandro Trossard, making his complete debut, and Takehiro Tomiyasu both drew excellent saves from City.

A magnificent 25-yard shot from Kevin De Bruyne went barely wide.

Up until the first half, Man City and Arsenal were scoreless. In the second half, Man City scores.

Trossard was the Arsenal attack’s first choice while Ake focused on shacking the in-form bukayo Saka.

The Arsenal left winger then struck out on his own, finding City’s cup goalie once more up to the task.

De Bruyne’s close call with the extraordinary only served to highlight how incidental.

Ake was left to showcase the kind of poise that the forwards on display lacked.
