energetic arsenal Lost three consecutive league games at the beginning of the season for the first time since 1954/55 after being defeated 5-0 Manchester City Saturday.
Pressure on gunner bosses with insufficient firepower continues to increase Mikel Arteta After a lunch horror show at the Etihad Stadium Ilkay Gundogan, Ferran Torres (twice), Gabriel Jesus with Rodri To fight for the rampant defending top league championship, and Granit Zaka In the first half it was a bleak day for Arsenal and they were sent off and they sank under the table.
So far this season, they have not scored a goal in the league. Wednesday’s League Cup defeated the young West Brom team 6-0, which does not seem to help provide a spark of confidence.
For Manchester City, the second consecutive 5-0 defeat allowed Guardiola’s team to firmly return to the right track after a difficult start with their usual high standards, which helped to make the transfer front that they missed was impressive. At the end of the frustrating week, cheer up the high-profile deal between Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Arsenal actually started the match confidently in the midday sunshine of Manchester, but when Callum Chambers allowed Gundogan, the best player of the game, to header in a deep Jesus pass from the back post, all they had The early promises disappeared immediately.
If the defense was not bad enough, only five minutes later, Bernardo Silva was free to send another ball, which somehow avoided the three red and white players, and then was kicked home by Torres.
After the incident between Chambers and another defender, Emeric Laporte, after a VAR check, the goal stood firm.
Only a few complacent mistakes made by Manchester City goalkeeper Edson looked likely to provide Arsenal with a potential way to return to the game. Kieran Tierney rejected the call for a penalty kick after an argument with Kyle Walker. Then Ka’s reckless two-footed challenge to Joao Cancelo before Xhaka’s red ball firmly eliminated any hope of a comeback.
As their numerical advantage further improved, Manchester City vigorously pushed for the third goal before the intermission. When Edson passed the ball directly to Torres from the center, Torres gained a few acres of space and could move forward and choose. Jack Greeley, who was sliding out, entered the box before opening Jesus so that he could easily click.
