The second half saw no goals however Man City were in cruise control for the majority of it.

The result see’s Manchester City still sit 3rd in the Premier League with 14 points between them and leaders Liverpool.

For Arsenal it see’s them in 9th, being both 7 points off from a Champion’s league place and a relegation spot. The lack of fight, inspiration and spark this current Arsenal team continue to show leaves them in a bleak predicament. Caretaker manager Freddie Ljunberg still unable to make an impact on this Arsenal side with just one win from five.
