FADUBA: 'Manchester City och Kevin De Bruyne visade fullständig dominans mot Arsenal'. Läs bloggen från JFfutbol här!
Two goals from Kevin De Bruyne and a goal each for John Stones and Erling Haaland settled the match. Haaland now has 49 goals this season for City and in the process broke the Premier League record for goals in a 38-game season with 32 . Rob Holding scored a consolation goal for Arsenal but it meant very little as they were ripped apart.
But when the game got going both he and his team were outsmarted, outfought and overrun by a far superior City team who showed everybody why they have been so dominant for the past five years. De Bruyne, once again the best and most clutch player on the pitch, explained the tactic with almost as much simplicity as he seems to play the game. “They marked with man to man pressure so we tried to go longer to Haaland,” he said. “We normally play with two eights but I was allowed to go left or right and find the space.”
When coupled in forward areas with Haaland the tactic worked superbly, stretching Arsenal’s man-to-man pressure and opening huge spaces. Haaland scored one but could actually have scored at least three and was quite wasteful in front of goal. Nonetheless he picked up a goal and two assists, even if he was denied his 50th goal of the season by some smart shot-stopping from Aaron Ramsdale.
If you drop deep and defend, they can out-pass you. If you play high and pressure man-to-man like Arsenal, they can exploit the space in behind with 70 yard passes from their nonchalant goalkeeper Ederson up to Haaland. If you try and get aggressive, they have a nasty streak too. Jack Grealish and Haaland in particular were roughed up on occasions but showed they are up for a fight.
