What Arsenal’s Loss To Man City Means For The Premier League Title Race
Arsenal lost to Manchester City in their most anticipated matchup of the season. This was the match that would determine who would win the English Premier League title. Manchester City closed out this game by winning 4-1.
Manchester City might’ve declared themselves champions of the Premier League with this win. After Arsenal has kept hold of first place for most of the season, that time may run out soon. City also has two more games in hand to take control of first place.
City has put together a season to remember. Signing Erling Haaland has proven to be one of the greatest signings already. Haaland in his first season, has shattered historic records and in the game against Arsenal, officially broke the record for most goals scored in a season.
City could be on track to win a treble as they are still in the FA Cup and Champions League. This team has been very special during the season and has a great shot at this rate to claim all the titles.
Arsenal and the bright lights
Arsenal should be so proud of the work and talent they showed the world this season. This young squad showed great maturity and proved they have the players to have a great future.
Arsenal managed to keep pace even without their main Striker, Gabriel Jesus, who was sidelined with a 3-month injury during the World Cup. More so, breakout defender, William Saliba, established his name as one of the best defenders in the Premier League. His injury late in the season has been costly for Arsenal, who have had a string of defensive errors in their last few games.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Ødegaard led the way this season for Arsenal’s attack. The wing duo of Saka and Martinelli was the best Winger partnership this year, recording a number of combined goals and assists.
Martin Ødegaard proved to be a great leader and captain for his side. At the young age of 24, he has set himself up to be a great future captain for the Gunners. His talent seems to rise each year that he plays Premier League Soccer.
What’s Next?
As it looks, Manchester City can take the Premier League title home. However, they still need to win all their games and anything can happen in this league! These next few weeks will be some of the best action to watch and follow. It should be interesting to see if Arsenal can hang on.
Regardless, this year was a huge step for Arsenal to show they are title contenders and can play Champions League games next season. Arsenal have proven to be a young, talented, and exciting team to watch and should be able to have success in the future.
