Is there any suspense?

Who would have thought that the first Premiership game in 2022 would have such ups and downs, twists and turns, and full of topic. Arsenal played a warm-blooded and spineless game at Emirates Stadium, only to be reversed by Manchester City amid controversy. When the ideal is shattered in the face of reality, fate can not make the Gunners kneel to beg for mercy, while the blue moon is killing the few suspense in the Premier League.

When it comes to the match between Arsenal and Manchester City, it is easy to think of the word "lopsided". Since the 18th season in 2017, the Gunners have suffered a nine-game losing streak against the Blue Moon in the league. To make matters worse, Arsenal, both big6, have scored only one goal in two games, with no gains in the past five Premier League matches and an incredible number of goals conceded.

The data are so contrasting that it is impossible to believe that this is a dialogue between the top players of the Premier League, which precisely reflects the trend of Arsenal and Manchester City in recent years-the Gunners have lost their former glory after years of missing the Champions League. the Blue Moon has become a real cosmic team under the coaching of the Golden Yuan and Guardiola. The two sides met for the first time this season, Manchester City beat Arsenal 5-0 in a crushing attitude, and with the Blue Moon's recent form, few people are hopeful that the Gunners will counterattack.

However, public opinion is pessimistic, but the dignity of the rich will not be easily lost. Today's Arsenal, is no longer the poor shooter at the beginning of the season, Arteta gradually found the instructions of DNA, although Arsenal still rarely win the showdown with strong enemies, but in the face of weak teams have been very stable, quietly has been hovering in the fourth area, vaguely let people see the dawn of revival.

In this game against the trembling Manchester City at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal fully demonstrated the change in their temperament. After the opening, although the Blue Moon still dominated the pass control, the Gunners' counterattack was quite targeted. In the 10th minute, Erdegao burst into the restricted area and was knocked down by Edson. In the face of this relatively obvious foul, the referee and VAR made the decision of "no penalty", which also became the first controversy in the game.

After that, Manchester City continued to attack at their own pace, Arsenal continued to fight back efficiently, and the Gunners waited for a chance when Tierney assisted Saka in the 30th minute and scored the team's first goal in nearly six league games against Super Blue Moon. The goal boosted the Gunners' morale and Martinelli got a series of chances before the end of the first half, each time narrowly short of expanding the score. The subtle difference also laid the groundwork for the controversy in the second half.

In the first 10 minutes of the second game, Arsenal's state and rhythm were still very online, but the variables came so suddenly-in the 57th minute, the B seat exaggerated and fell to the ground after contacting Zaka in the restricted area, and the referee verified the VAR and made a penalty kick. Mahrez equalized the score overnight; in the 58th minute, Ake was cleared, Martinelli gave gifts to the opponent but did not enter the empty door. In the 59th minute, Gabriel mysteriously got two yellow cards in two minutes and left the game with red.

In just two minutes, Arsenal fell from heaven to hell, and the fans were angry at the different decisions of the referees, but the battle continued. In the last half hour of the game, the gunmen who fought with ten men could only retreat on all fronts. Arteta deployed troops, hoping to rely on the correct tactical arrangements and the spirit of the team to fight for a draw. The United shooter almost did this-but fate always likes to joke.

When the game went on in the 93rd minute, seeing that Arsenal were about to hold a draw and saw Manchester City making the final battle in the penalty area, Rodrigo scored the last goal in the chaos. The goal brought a difficult victory for Manchester City and made Arsenal feel frustrated. After Rodrigo scored, home fans who were dissatisfied with the referee and angry at the process could not contain their emotions, and the Emirates Stadium became a sea of abuse.

Despite the referee's decision, it was a top match in the Premier League in which both sides showed excellent skills and tactics, and several controversies in the game made the game more topical. The fighting spirit of Arsenal seems to let people see the shadow of the former king division, this night in North London, they ran out of ammunition, did not choose to fall down and admit defeat, and won the respect of the fans in the process.

As for Manchester City, not to mention the voice of the referee after the game, scoring three points is the most pragmatic result for Manchester City. After a last-ditch reversal of Arsenal, Super Blue Moon has won a frightening 11-game winning streak in the Premier League, leading Chelsea by 11 points and leading Liverpool by 12 points in one more game (two more games in Billy Whipple), almost ending the Premier League title suspense in the winter.
