Last weekend, two of the teams in the Big Six faced off in Matchday 24 of the Premier League. Arsenal hosted Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium in a crucial match for both teams in their fight for the championship.
In an exciting encounter, Arsenal achieved a convincing victory over the current Premier League champions. The London team quickly took the lead with a goal from Martin Ødegaard in the 2nd minute. Despite Manchester City's attempts to equalize, Arsenal maintained the lead until halftime.
In the second half, Manchester City momentarily equalized with a goal from Erling Haaland in the 55th minute. However, Arsenal responded fiercely, scoring three more goals through Partey, Skelly, Havertz, and finishing off with a goal from Nwaneri in the 90+3 minute. This victory practically buries Manchester City's hopes of retaining the league title.
With 14 games left to play, Arsenal is only 6 points behind the leader, Liverpool. With this important victory, the London team remains in the championship race and will have the opportunity to crown themselves this season if they can maintain consistency in the upcoming matches.
However, Arsenal is not having its best season compared to previous years. The next challenge for the Gunners will be facing Newcastle, followed by matches against Leicester City and West Ham. Undoubtedly, Arsenal demonstrated its potential and determination in this match against Manchester City, and now they must maintain that level to keep aspiring for the Premier League title.
