Arsenal 0 - 1 Manchester City
Premier League

City dominated, looking a little like Barcelona during the tikitaki period: keeping the ball from their opponents. Fluid positioning. Excellent rotation. No striker. Interesting team shape. Sterling's headed goal on 2'.

Arsenal dominated possession for a while in the second half. What caused the change? Arsenal, once in possession, played shorter passes and kept the ball well, particularly at the back. City don't like to be out of possession and their play became more ragged as a result. Arsenal supremo Arteta applauded his team's play for good reason.
It would be interesting to see what the current City team would do if they went behind early in a game. But the team will change with Agüero coming back to fitness. He didn't play today, and Gabriel Jesus only came on in the second half.
This was Manchester City's 18th consecutive win. A great achievement.
