At first glance, an easy and unambiguous victory for Guardiola’s sentries, and yes, the “townspeople” didn’t have to try too hard. Perhaps it was only in the first half that the Gunners held out, kept up a good pace and were able to bounce back after a terrible start. It’s nice that Zinchenko gave him a pass, which turned into an assist, Zhezus did his best for a goal.
Then Fernandinho and Laporte could make the score bigger, they failed … and Arsenal woke up. Arteta’s team is not even in the best condition, it can give a couple of good periods in the game. From about minute 25 on the field there was an even game, and the attacks of the hosts were of better quality. Still, it was no accident that Lacazette tied the score, in his own style (as in his prime years) Alexander won the fight for the ball and hit his head 1: 1.
At the end of the first half, Jesús was able to score again, but the guests did not take his moments very seriously. As if they knew what they could add. Arsenal were playing to their limit, when the townspeople added, the Gunners could no longer resist. At the start of the second half of the game, the Mankunians literally shocked the Londoners. Marez threw a free throw like a true master – 2: 1.
Foden scored a goal just five minutes after Marez’s accurate shot. Fernandinho gave a verified pass, it is not known what the defenders were doing, but Phil did everything perfectly. Impact, from one point to another – 3: 1. Furthermore, all the resistance of the “Arsenal” turned out to be meaningless.
In the 73rd minute, Foden gave an assist to Laporte, who set the final score for the match. At that moment, it was obvious that Arteta’s wards were playing during the meeting. We also noted that the Ukrainian legionnaire Oleksandr Zinchenko reliably closed the left flank, participated in the rounds and then after substitutions, he acted in his usual central mid position, including a shot on goal from the central zone, albeit very inaccurate. , but still.
In the Carabao Cup this season, Arsenal will not be able to show anything else. With little effort (a little more than in practice), City advance to the semi-finals and have a good chance of confirming their title as the current trophy.
