In the Premier League, as many as three teams are fighting for the championship and probably no one can predict the ending. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool score at the same level. The game actually continues until the first mistake.
In the 32nd round, Manchester City did not stumble and easily defeated Crystal Palace. Arsenal didn’t make a mistake either and beat Brighton and Hove Albion without any major problems.
The hosts were not an equal opponent for Mikel Arteta’s team. Arsenal’s win is certain and deserved. In fact, there was no other scenario in sight, and this time the goals were scored by Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard.

Initially, not much happened, but finally in the 31st minute Gabriel Jesus was cut down in the penalty area by Tariq Lamptey. Referee John Brooks had no doubts and without hesitation pointed to the eleventh meter, where Saka had made no mistake. He confused the goalkeeper, shot very confidently and Arsenal took the lead.
Hosts? Well, there were moments, but no specifics were found.
After the break, the picture of the game did not change much. The guests had the advantage and documented it by scoring the second goal. Kai Havertz hit the net after a great move, and in the end Trossard scored for the hosts after a quick counter-attack.
Polish people? This time they played supporting roles. Jakub Moder was in the starting line-up, but he did not stand out in any way and was replaced in the 63rd minute. Jakub Kiwior spent the entire match on the bench.
Arsenal won and in good spirits they can prepare for the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich in midweek. The dress rehearsal passed with flying colors.
