Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United bring contrasting emotions to fans in round 19 of the Premier League.
1. Manchester United’s spectacular comeback
Erik ten Hag and his team responded to doubts with an emotional comeback against Aston Villa, a team that is in high form in the Premier League this season. The “Red Devils” were down 0-2 after less than half an hour but won all 3 points at Old Trafford thanks to Alejandro Garnacho’s double goal and Rasmus Hojlund’s goal that set the score.
3 days after the disappointing defeat against West Ham, the Old Trafford team promptly returned to bring a meaningful gift to the fans. Although it was not a perfect victory, after all, 3 points is still 3 points, it will help the “Red Devils” be more confident on the road ahead.
The Dutch strategist still has many problems to overcome if he wants to continue the top 4 race with Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa. Let’s wait and see how Manchester United will perform before home team Nottingham Forest’s trip to the City Ground.
2. Manchester City cannot be left out of the championship race
A series of relatively disappointing matches recently caused Pep Guardiola and his team to temporarily fall to fourth place on the rankings. However, if anyone wants to remove Manchester City from the championship race, that is an extremely wrong statement.
Returning from the FIFA Club World Cup, “The Citizens” have a trip that promises to be full of difficulties at the holy land of Goodison Park. The home team also took the lead thanks to Jack Harrison’s close-range finish. However, that is not enough to stop the defending Premier League champions.
Thanks to the bravery and timely brilliance of the stars, Manchester City successfully went upstream. The 3-1 victory over Everton helped them close the two leading opponents, Liverpool and Arsenal, with a narrow gap.
3. Arsenal deadlocked right at the Emirates
Mikel Arteta’s teachers and students were unexpectedly defeated by West Ham at the Emirates even though the “Gunners” were the team that had almost complete control of the ball. A disastrous mistake from the defenders made Arsenal bitterly resentful. This is also the first loss of the North London representative at home this season.
Martin Odegaard and his teammates revealed many problems after 90 minutes of disappointment against West Ham. The alarming performance of stars in attack such as Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli or Gabriel Jesus gives coach Mikel Arteta a headache.
Many sources say that the “Gunners” will patiently wait until next summer to strengthen a quality striker, but if they want to compete fairly with Manchester City or Liverpool, they must do it right in the season transfer window. winter is coming.
