Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Manchester City FC and Arsenal FC get this one started.
- 5' Shkodran Mustafi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 8' The whistle greets Granit Xhaka as he departs to be replaced by Dani Ceballos.
- 13' Arsenal FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 13.
- 18' England international Eddie Nketiah has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 23' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for David Luiz suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' A change in the Arsenal FC ranks — Pablo Mari exits the field as David Luiz enters on 24.
- 29' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 34' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 39' Supporters expect more eagerness from Benjamin Mendy, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 44' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 47' Goal! Raheem Sterling scores his 113 goal in 452 matches.
- 49' David Luiz catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 49.
- 51' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kevin De Bruyne makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 56' Fernandinho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 61' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 65' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Phil Foden is hanging Riyad Mahrez on the field on 65 minute.
- 67' Alexandre Lacazette has so much to prove this time. He replaces Eddie Nketiah on 67 minute.
- 68' Fresh legs for Manchester City FC! Phil Foden comes on to replace Riyad Mahrez.
- 70' Fresh legs for Manchester City FC! Fernandinho comes on to replace Kevin De Bruyne.
- 75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 76' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kieran Tierney.
- 79' The referee calls foul for Rodri. He receives a Yellow card.
- 80' Sergio Aguero has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gabriel Jesus on 80 minute.
- 85' Sergio Aguero has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- Manchester City FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
