Manchester City 0-1 Villa

In the past few years, Manchester City has been almost invincible in the Premier League, but since the beginning of last season, almost all European teams have the ability to defeat Guardiola's team. This is the consequence of the unsatisfactory replacement process between the old and the new. In this campaign, facing Aston Villa, who was recovering in form, Emery's team repeatedly threatened Manchester City's defense after the start of the game. The Blue Moon Army was played like a super giant. In the 39th minute, Villa used a tactical corner kick to create a murderous opportunity. Cash met the ball and scored with an angry shot. Villa 1-0 Manchester City.

Change sides and fight again. Although Manchester City tried to counterattack, in addition to Martin's outstanding performance, Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt performance was indeed very stretched. It was not until the 89th minute of the game that Haaland scored with a tackle, but VAR ruled that Malmouche was offside and the goal was invalid. The full-time whistle blew, and the score was fixed at 0-1! It was quite an upset this round.

Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

On the other side, Arsenal faces Crystal Palace. Arteta's team now feels a bit "stable as an old dog" to us! After the game started, the Arsenal generals quickly entered the state and basically controlled the rhythm of the game. The Crystal Palace defense resolved the danger many times. In the 39th minute, Rice took a free kick and dropped it into the penalty area. After a melee, Eze grabbed the spot and blasted the goal. The Red and White Army led 1-0!

Arsenal still controlled the rhythm in the second half, but the players in the midfield and frontcourt seemed to have forgotten to bring their shooting boots and wasted many opportunities to expand the score. Throughout the game, the ball possession rate was as high as 66%. The final score was Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace. After winning this campaign, the Gunners won 7 consecutive victories in all competitions and continued to lead the Premier League standings. Arteta's team seems to be about to lose its reputation as the "second player in the millennium".

Bournemouth 2-0 Nottingham Forest

In another game in the same round, Bournemouth defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 at home. Tavernier's corner kick went directly into the goal, and Crupi's long shot sealed the victory. The Cherries had three wins in the past four games and were in hot shape. This victory also allowed them to jump to second place in the standings and dominate the Champions League.
