At last, the student beat the master. With a solitaire goal by brazilian striker Gabriel Martinelli four minutes left in the clock (86′), Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal defeated Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in Emirates Stadium in London for Premier League’s Matchday 8.
Since 2018, Man City didn’t lose two matches in a row in Premier League and had to be Arteta’s squad, who obtained its first check in the wins column against the Citizens after a recent lose against Wolves, who marked the fall of a seemingly undefeated team led by his former coach when he was an active soccer player.
Also, Arsenal scored their first win in Premier League against the current english champion since late 2015. The three points that remained in Emirates Stadium allowed the London team to tie in points with Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the Premier League’s current standings and reaching the second place, sending the Citizens to the third place.
