Mikel Arteta was called to brake the good moment of the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola, as few know of better way to the 'sky blues' that the one who was 'right hand' of his technician. Even, the past season won him 2-0 in FA Cup. This time could not attain it. A solitary target of Raheem Sterling hardly to the 76 seconds of the pitazo initial sentenced the defeat of the Arsenal (1-0).

The victory in the Emirates Stadium meant the triumph 18 to the thread harvested by the citizens between all the competitions, and accumulates 25 parties without knowing the defeat. This series keeps it like leader stood out with 10 points of advantage on his nearer perseguidor, the Leicester City, and 13 more than the Manchester United, that has a lower party contested.

Implementing a 'plan eddy', the City jumped to the field and annotated his faster goal in the two last years in Premier League. Sterling, during the first five minutes, had three chances clear of goal. In the second, to the 76 seconds, hanged the 0-1 in the marker. The played was born in a change of game of Rúben Dias, continued with a big played individual of Mahrez on Tierney and finalised with Sterling cabeceando the centre of the Algerian to the network.

It has shined in front of the Arsenal the English youngster. Of the 20 teams of the Premier, is to the that more goals has annotated him (8). In the six last commitments against the 'gunners' accumulates five targets and a pair of assistances. Guardiola, that decided to reserve to Rodri and that recovered to Kevin Of Bruyne, headline for the first time after surpassing his injury, planted him as 'false 9' and backed it with cracks to his backs: Bernardo Silva, Mahrez and Gündogan. With so much offensive power was not him difficult baffle to his rival.

The venues looked for the balance

The individual marks of Arteta worked from the average horto: Odegaard on Fernandinho, Saka on Cancel and Pépé on Zinchenko. However, still with this method, the fortress custodiada by Ederson did not see loomed, save by a shot of Bukayo Saka in the 18' that detained his mate Aubameyang in illicit position. To little to fall the halftime of the party, almost arrives the 0-2 by double game. A powerful finish of Of Bruyne went out brushing the stick in the minute 48, and Leno exhibited with a shot to the strain of the stick from the frontal of the area in the 55'.

By his part, the Arsenal harvested his chance of greater danger after the rest with a clear of Cancel against his own goal that Ederson cleared as it could in the 73'. The played finalised in a shot diverted of Elneny from far. The own Cancel was to a step to redeem of his error in the contrary goal in the 80', but once again failed. It seated to David Luiz with a stood out dribbling, but his finish with the outside of his right foot went out brushing the stick.

Meanwhile, the City follows harvesting triumphs. Already it adds 18 and it seems not hesitating in his attempt for conquering more victories that allow him do again with the title of the Premier, in addition to winning a place between the best clubs of the UEFA Champions League. Said place, according to the opinion of many, is more than ensured because of the powerful staff with which explains Guardiola.
