Mikel Arteti's team lost control of the game in the other half and risked being stolen from the champions' race.

Manchester City won their away match at the Nottingham Forest field as part of the eighteenth round of the English Premier League, having won the start of the Saturday game program, thereby throwing a shout out to the London Arsenal, which they had lost in such a manner. Otherwise, Mikel Arteta’s team, in the worst-case scenario, risked losing the first match in the tournament table before the final match in 2025.

And so that the “Gunners” did not need to overcome the dry spell of the famous team of Fabian Gurzeler, who once again created a scheme with five reserves, so that they could better stream opponents on their field. The idea was to sound completely solid and logical, but the “seagulls” would get away with no equal.

They ended the first half with a half-formed thought about the need to cope with such disarray on the football field, and even before the guests did not manage to do anything for 45 minutes, and their dry block of opponents was even higher. Saka then shared the ball at the entrance to the right flank of the penalty kick with Edegor, and he aimed it under the near post.

Arsenal did not feel the pressure on the side of their super teams before the break, and after the break, when Brighton made a substitution, they noticed the power advantage. Not without the help of Gurzeler’s side, and specifically the attacker Rutter, who, with a blow to the far post of the powerful goal, masterfully completed the delivery of the cut from the left flank against Rice, who was laying the table of Garneau Viconan, which, obviously, will be lost quite a bit.

Brighton have not yet received the same sympathy for the plan of attack, so here, perhaps, Arteta’s team believed in themselves and in those who have already been united on the right. Ale trivala less than 53 hvilina, so there was still plenty of time in the “gull” in order to make noise on Emirates. They got busy with this, starting at 64 minutes, when Gomez, having scored an empty goal at the net, jumped off the left post, and with a low shot from the right flank of Ayari’s penalty goal.

After this, there will be another great moment for the guests, when Raya fights against the powerful team from hitting the crossbar at Vikonanna Minte from the same right flank of the karny Maidan Arsenal. And in fact, the pace of play at that moment was such that Arsenal did not have the sense to work with their rivals, since they needed to slow down their gradual offensive. However, Brighton were unable to keep up the game for the whole half at the same pace, so the victory for Arteta’s team went nowhere. She could have been even more successful, if Martinelli had not lost his episode in front of someone else’s gate.

In the upcoming round, London's Arsenal will take on Birmingham's Aston Villa, while Brighton will go to London's West Ham.
