Arsenal have now had 17 applyers sent off under Arteta in the Premier League, more than any other team. And if they don’t better their discipline, they will persist to be hampered by red and yellow cards as the season proceedes. It’s difficult enough to loss City with 11 applyers on the pitch.

Oinhabitr pulled Kyle Walker out of position towards the centre of the pitch for a chat with the City captain and then apexhibited Arsenal to consent a speedy free-initiate and take advantage of the space Walker had vacated. Gabriel Martinelli took the opportunity to tee-up Calafiori, who curled the ball beyond Ederson in the City goal.

Oinhabitr declined to dish out a card when City triumphger Jeremy Doku initiateed the ball away in the first half but then handed Trossard a second yellow card fair before the fracture.

Arteta, who habitupartner shows his emotions on the touchline, then pulled his jumper over his face after Trossard had been neglected as his anger was evident for everyone to see.

Rodri loss hands initiative to Arsenal

Rodri discdisseeed up earlier in the week about the possibility of applyers striking becaengage of the fervent demands placed upon them. And his own laborload may have been a contributing factor to the injury he upgrasped midway thraw the first half at the Etihad as he was forced off follotriumphg a clash with Thomas Partey.

Guardiola’s side lost three Premier League alignes last season when the Spaniard was suspfinished. In contrast, the champions have remained unbeaten in their last 52 top-fweightless alignes when Rodri has featured.
