Arsenal ruled Emirates Stadium Premier League Champion, broke Manchester City 5-1, and applied to Liverpool at the top of the table.
The Mikel Arteta team took the lead within two minutes through Martin Odegaard, and Erling Haaland hit the header early in the second half. Before Thomas Party recovered the advantage of Arsenal, the city was at a level of about one minute.
Then, the home side was completely controlled. The impressive 18 -year -old full -back Miles Luis Skerry and forward Kai Harboret have added more gloss in the stop time as a substitute for an outstanding curling strike from 17 -year -old Ethan Nwaneri.
Arsenal is 6 points behind the leader Liverpool. Liverpool has a match, but the defeat only has the 4th place in the city, 15 points from the title pace, and only the fifth place Newcastle United.
James McNicholas, Sam Lee, and Tom Harris analyze important points …
This was Lewis Skerry Day
In September, Ulteta made a senior debut to Lewis Skilly when these two teams met in the opposite fixis of Etihad Stadium. It was a big statement of the manager of the manager of Lewis Skelly, and then 17 years old. In particular, he had already been reserved to David Laya that day to encourage David Laya to be injured from behind the Spanish goals during the warming up.
Since then, Lewis Skerry has gained strength from strength. For the game, ARTETA chose him before signing a 42 million pounds (currently $ 52 million in the current price) in summer Ricardo Calafioli. After scoring Arsenal’s third goal, he cuts his inside before bending the ball with his right foot, and then he will be difficult to drive. The crowd of Emirates stadium has a new hero.
He was also loved by fans by duplicating Harland’s meditation pose goals. This is a callback to a short flash point between Norwegian strikers and Luis Skelly, between 2-2 draws in Manchester.
The appearance of Lewis Skerry and his fellow Academy Product Nwaneri is one of the positive seasons of Arsenal. NwANERI was the second gorgeous goal of this week, the second gorgeous goal to make it 5-1, and even found time to put icing on the cake.

The creepy build -up play of the city
Stephen Ortega’s dangerous path was a pass to Mateo Cova Satch in the first half, giving Habazes a chance for gold leaf, so Citi reached a desolate landmark in northern London.
This was the 23rd error that led to the opposition shot in the Premier League from 2024 to 25 years. (They quickly became 24, cut into part in the second half, and Arsenal’s midfielder scored 2-1 to the host. )
The sequence was not something we had never seen before -what carbon copy Athletic Is explained The most dangerous path in soccer In December -but Ortega fell straight to TRAP. His pass was short, and Kobachic was not the first to be boring for the first time, but crowded.
Aside from obvious risks, the approach of cities accumulated through today’s game was not enough to break through Arsenal’s defensive form. The fact that Matheus Nunes is pushing the full back roles means that CITY formed a back 3 in the ball, and Kovacic is often the only option to proceed with the ball through the middle. For that, they became wider, but they usually returned straight. On the other wings, Savinho struggled in space.
The new signature, signed by Omar Marmash, was looking at his back with his eyes on his back, although the Midfielder of the city was deeply fell. When the city was able to zip the ball to the forden, they struggled to pick up the pace and move to the third attack with him.
The champion is still very vulnerable to the third defensive third, so you need the last error. However, being unable to pass through the first two lines is to impair the struggle to control such a large game.

Havertz summarizes the difficult question of Arsenal’s striker
In some ways, the performance of the Haber’s has demonstrated the complexity of the Arsenal striker.
The biggest topic in the first half was the chance to spur Harbert, except for the early goals of Odegard, to 2-0.
Arsenal can have more clinical NO 9. It is surprising that Harbor and Gabriel Jesus end with two center forwards that share common important weaknesses.
As Jesus is now on the side, Arsenal spent many winter windows chasing a new center forward. Their attempt to sign Aston Villa’s Oly Watokins seemed to have failed at first glance, 24 hours before the deadline at 11:00 pm (6:00 pm) tomorrow. That’s it.
The strange thing is that even if Arsenal lands a striker before the window closes, it will be difficult for a new man to remove Habert from the team. Regarding all the precautions regarding the missed opportunities, Germans continue to check all boxes that Ulteta wants from the belongings in front. His press and physicality contribute to the structure of the team.
Nevertheless, in the second half, Havertz finished with Aplomb when a more difficult opportunity to score came in his way. His finish is not consistent, but many other aspects of his play are reliable.
Everyone agrees that Arsenal needs a striker. But can ARTETA find it in the next few hours that he values more than Havertz? It’s more difficult to say.

Each of the city’s individual errors and why they are
Here, in consideration of the problem of the season, there was a good city performance bone, but the error that Tom Harris mentions above derails the hope that it will get something in the future.
It was the true murderer of the city that the Forden passed straight to the part -after returning to the game with 1-1, he immediately acknowledged his goal, and Forden played his role, and they were really their role. The wind was removed from the sail. Since November, it is difficult to see such errors without recognizing their spots in a spots.
The most famous example was the Champions League Fayenode. Even if the results were taken up recently, they abandoned 2-0 leads in Brentford, drew 2-2 in Paris Saint-Germain in Europe again, and lost 4-2. They have acknowledged unprecedented goals under Pep Guardiola (shown below).
Players continue to fight and play a type of soccer that returns them to the top, but individual errors (and promptly recognized goals) are hindering the possibility of progress.
Today, the city continued to dig a hole for themselves.

How did Harland rode after the last “humble” comment?
Following the 2-2 draw in September, Harland stood on Sunday, Hub’s HUB, following the “humble and humble” advice to Arsenal players.
Considering that it was developed during the game, the point of Norway was probably very well proven from the viewpoint of celebration and chant, but when you make such a comment, your own form is in place. I hope.
For a few months at the end of last year, Harland had a hard time scoring because of the difficulty of scoring the city form. But here he did more or less he did. Certainly, Arsenal’s center back chose pockets several times, but his equalizer in 55 minutes gave the City’s hope.
Harland generally lives and dies from the services he gets, and in many cases, in many cases. Today, he was able to monitor because he did a business and his mistakes from his teammates wastes his good job.
Nevertheless, Arsenal fans will enjoy the fall of the city on the day, probably beyond that.

What does this result mean for the Arsenal season?
As a shout of “I!”, It was an early evening of catharsis for Arsenal. It sounded around Emirates with a three -goal lead. And they added another one.
Aside from Harland, Gabriel, and Arteta, this is the first time Arsenal has gained 5 to City since February 2003, and the fourth league match is invincible against the Guadiola side. Top flight.
Today’s results effectively end the hope that the city has won the fifth straight title, but it has the first chance of Arsenal since the boiling down from 2003 to 2004.
The confidence that this victory gives to them cannot be modest. And in two games with the side of Bottom 6 to come to the following two league matches (Lester City Way, Westham United home), they have the opportunity to extend the undefeated run up to 16 games. in.
All you can do is do what the city did in the previous season. Let’s contact the leader.
