Arsenal had this one right in tactics, defend in numbers but when you attack City's defence will help you out and so it proved to be, although having the majority of the possession 40/60 we could do nothing with it to create chances. It was City that created the mistakes for Arsenal to lead when in the 33rd minute Walcott smacked it in and again just on half time City lost the ball and got punished and in the premier make your shots count. Arsenal 2 shots 2 goals City 7 shots 1 on target and City could have lead with De Bruyne just missing. City looked Ok with Arsenal defending in numbers, the corner count at HT was 1-4, but it is goals that count and the gooners finishing was clinical.
City came out fighting in the 2nd half, Sterling had replaced Delph and It was not until Navas came on for Silva that City started to get into and around the back of Arsenal causing a few gooners fans hearts to flutter. The ref, well he could have been kinder to City but they always favour the home side and I hope Wenger has a word with Campbell on improving his diving and antics.
It was Yaya who appears to have lost a yard of pace got City back into the game and once his goal went in spoiling Cech's hope of beating the clean sheet records, it was wave on wave of City attacks, but sadly they could not find the net. City ended with 20 shots on goal but only 6 on Target, The gooners walk away 3 points closer to the top, but City gave them a fight in the end, if onloy that fight had started 90 minutes earlier.
