MADRID, 8 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Arsenal beat Manchester City (1-0) this Sunday on the eighth matchday of the Premier thanks to a goal from Gabriel Martinelli in the 86th minute, taking the lead in a very tight high area, where Liverpool could not (2- 2) with Brighton.
Mikel Arteta’s men won the Community Shield two months ago against Pep Guardiola’s men and, in the first round of the league season, the Gunners showed that they maintain their potential to compete for titles. The Premier champion gave up a lead that Tottenham now retains after its victory on Saturday.
The ‘Spurs’ are first with 20 points, tied with Arsenal and City is two points behind. Meanwhile, Liverpool have 17 in fourth position and Aston Villa and Brighton have 16. The Premier does not allow escapes and Guardiola’s team suffered at the Emirates.
Both teams respected each other a lot in a first half without great chances and where the locals demanded a red card for Kovacic for a challenge on Odegaard. At the points it seemed that City were going to take the victory, but Martinelli, back after injury, gave the victory to Arteta’s team with a shot that hit Aké.
In addition, the English matchday left three draws this Sunday. Liverpool moved just one point clear of southern England despite Salah’s double. Meanwhile, Unai Emery’s Aston Villa also had to settle for a draw (1-1) against Wolves and Newcastle suffered Kudus’ 2-2 for West Ham in the 89th minute.
