23:20 – An XXL performance for De Bruyne, the summary of the match
A performance as usual. Two goals, one assist: Kevin De Bruyne once again showed the extent of his talent in an important game for Manchester City. If he showed the way to his partners by opening the scoring in the 7th minute of play, he delivered a caviar for John Stones just before the break before ending the hopes of the Gunners in the second period (54th minute of play) . If he gave way to Julian Alvarez, the Belgian showed the way to Manchester City which is approaching a new crown in the Premier League. If the Gunners stay ahead, the Citizens are two points down but two games behind to play. Arsenal can blame themselves at the end of this meeting: Mikel Arteta’s players lacked impact, desire and ambition from the kick-off before being swallowed up by the steamroller put in place by Pep Guardiola. New underperformance for the London club which sees the title escape.
