Goals and Highlights: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester City in Premier League

Thank you for listening to this Premier League match. Stay tuned here for the repercussions of this game. Have a nice day, happy new year, and see you next time!

Arsenal return to the field on Thursday (6), when they face Liverpool in the English League Cup semifinal. City, on the other hand, play against Swindon Town on Friday (7) in the FA Cup.
 

City come back from a goal down to beat Arsenal away from home in a great game!

Laporte tried to deflect a cross into the box and the ball fell to Rodri, who managed to finish almost in the small area and sent the ball into the back of the net, turning the match - and getting yellow for celebrating by taking off his shirt!

We will have six more minutes of extra time in the match.

Arsenal substitution: Saka is out, Elneny is in.

Cancelo received on the edge of the area and shot hard, but over the goal.

Arsenal substitution: Lacazette out, Smith Rowe in.

And he painted a yellow for Saka for complaining after a foul by Rodri on Lacazette.

Substitution in both teams. At City Gabriel Jesus left and Gundogan came in. And at Arsenal Oodegard left and entered Holding.

And in the goal kick right after Laporte's mistake, Gabriel Jesus received, killed on the chest and was hit by Gabriel Magalhães, who got a yellow card. But he already had one, because he complained a lot on the penalty kick! Gabriel Magalhães is sent off!

On the next penalty kick the ball was lifted into the box, Laporte deflected it over the goalkeeper and was about to send it against his own goal, but Aké saved it on the line. In the rebound Martinelli isolated!

Mahrez went for the ball and sent it into the left corner, high, with no chance for Ramsdale, who came out to the right. The game is tied!

Xhaka pulled Bernardo Silva inside the area, the referee went to VAR and gave the maximum penalty to Manchester City!

Lacazette gets his first touch on the ball and it rolls into the second half of the match!

The players from Arsenal and Manchester City return to the pitch to start the second half of the match.

With Saka's goal in an eventful 45 minutes, Arsenal go on to beat City at home in the Premier League!

Gabriel Martinelli stole the ball in the backfield, carried it, passed two people and got the shot, already inside the area, but sent it dangerously to the left side!

Martinelli took it from the left to the middle and hit it hard from outside the area, but sent it out of the left side of the goal!

Martinelli found Tierney, who received on the left, charged and played in the middle, where Saka was, who hit hard and first time, in the left corner, with no chance to Ederson on the floor. The score is open!

Arsenal launches itself into the attack and keeps possession, trying to open the score - proof of this: it is 75% possession for the Gunners in the last 10 minutes.

Gabriel Jesus got the pass inside the box to De Bruyne, who hit a cross and sent it to the left side of the goal!

Martinelli received Partey's pass on the left and managed to get a strong shot, but over the goalkeeper Ederson!

Sterling managed to get a cross in the box and Ruben Dias went for the header and managed to deflect the ball before the goalkeeper, sending it to the right side of the goal!

From a cross in the box Gabriel Jesus got the header and sent the ball into the right side of the goal!

And before the ball starts to roll, the players kneel in protest against racism. And now Mahrez gets his first touch on the ball and it rolls into the first half on the first day of 2022!

The players take to the field to start the match!

The players leave the field to continue their preparation and soon return to the field for the ball to roll!

Arteta will have problems starting his team for the derby. Besides Kolasinac, injured, Chambers, Tomiyasu, Cedric and Maitland-Niles tested positive for Covid-19 and are out. Pep Guardiola will not have Walker, Rodri and Stones, both injured.

Manchester City leads the Premier League and is on course to increase the gap after some stumbles in past rounds of rivals, adding 50 points, eight ahead of Chelsea, second and nine ahead of Liverpool. Closing the G-4 are Arsenal, who have 35 points, followed "more or less" closely by West Ham and Manchester United, both with 31 points, closing the G-6.

Meanwhile Manchester City played two Premier League games, winning the first, on Sunday (26), 6-3 against Leicester. The scorers of this crazy score were De Bruyne, Mahrez, Gundogan, Sterling (2) and Laporte for the citizens, while Maddison, Lookman and Iheanacho scored for the foxes. And away from home, last Wednesday (29), City visited Brentford and won 1-0, with Foden's goal.

Arsenal arrive for the match in good shape, without knowing what it is to be defeated in five games, and in the last two Arsenal scored 10 goals and conceded only one. Against Sunderland, the result was 5-1, with Broadhead scoring for the visitors in the League Cup game, while Nketiah (3), Pépé, and Patino scored for the Gunners. After that Arsenal beat Norwich 5-0 last Sunday (26), with goals from Saka (2), Tierney, Lacazette and Smith-Rowe, in the Premier League.
