Man City shatter Arsenal's Premier League dream into pieces in one-sided title decider ⚽ City played as though they’ve been trolling everyone all season, while Arsenal look spent as their title charge begins to unravel, writes samcunningham
Arsenal’s defenders seemed almost scared of Haaland, like he might accidentally rip an arm from a socket if they became involved in a tussle, or that they could crack a rib if they inadvertently walked into him while watching the ball. When the giant striker closed his eyes and roared after one of several efforts was saved by Aaron Ramsdale it was possible the ground shook as far away London.
The Norwegian controlled the high ball, clipped it into De Bruyne’s path, and the midfielder had a pass on to the left that you’d expect him to take but drove right instead then slotted the ball so perfectly into the bottom right corner of goal from outside the area it was agonisingly impossible for Ramsdale to reach.
The second goal wasn’t trademark Guardiola either, not the sort of move he would have had Arteta work on over and over again with City’s players on the training ground. A deep De Bruyne free kick headed in by Stones, originally ruled out offside but reinstated by VAR. For a team known for their impenetrable passing they had stunned Arsenal with direct moves.
Has there ever been such a one-side game with so much riding on it? Dias had more touches in the first half than Arsenal’s entire midfield. Even Holding’s late goal felt pointless.
