How Arsenal humbled Man City with Mikel Arteta’s genius double press, hidden Partey and Lewis-Skelly masterstroke ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta masterminded another brilliant win in the title race as they thrashed Manchester City on Sunday.
It worked perfectly as Manuel Akanji was robbed for Arsenal to score their first goal — with Trossard pinching it, Rice playing to Havertz and the German setting up Odegaard to tap in after two minutes.
But what Arsenal did against Man City, was force the visitors to play the ball into areas where they were ready to press again.
Arsenal decided early in the match that two City players were not going to be a threat to them.
In contrast, Arsenal also played with a six but through the centre with three pairs - an attacking duo, a midfield duo and a defensive duo.
