“Arsenal take that. City are formidable at home and Arsenal denied them – City had a lot of possession but not many chances. I’d have liked to see more going the other way but getting a point is brilliant.”
Arsenal undefeated
Arsenal have gone undefeated against their title rivals in the Premier League this season!
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta:
- “A really competitive match. We made another big step today. City have the capacity to change formations to get you in deep in many moments. They are very physical but I think we coped with that very well. I think we had the best situations. We were really aggressive at times and getting the ball into great areas. The way we competed individually and as a team was phenomenal.
“Individually you have to be at your best. I think it is 2021 since they hadn’t scored a goal here at the Etihad. It was a really tough test for us today. We wanted to win but when you cannot win you must not lose.”
