Arsenal win would keep the title race interesting at least instead of the usual City procession.

Anthony Taylor is a good referee. If only refs at our games booked keepers for time-wasting.

And gives pens against them too.

no way that's a penalty, that's Taylor in a nutshell - horrific decision, it's a contact sport

Clear pen that.

Not a pen for me. It’s nothing to do with the lack of intent, just the fact that Ederson doesn’t possess the ability to instantly disappear.

Making for a good game though.

The interpretation has always been that if a player gets his shot away then any contact afterwards is dismissed.

It happens at least once a game, if we are going down this route then expect multiple penalties. We know that just isn't going to happen though don't we?

exactly, Arsenal didn't even appeal for it. All about Taylor, horrific ref, I still remember him giving us a penalty at Swansea after a hand ball by Vokes :lol:

Very much doubt we'd ever get a pen like that given us away at Arsenal.

Whatever your view on pen / no pen; he should have booked every citeh player hounding him.

Just seen the Arsenal pen incident, sorry but it’s not a penalty. The keeper has attempted to make a save, entitled to do it, Nketiah has already got his shot away and it’s missed, what an awful decision.

Want Arsenal to win the title purely because I dislike dynasties but Arteta is a classless pr1ck.

How was that a foul against Grealish? Both players committed, both fell over. If anything it was a foul for handball by JG.

Makes you wonder just how many Haaland is going to end up with this season.
Not too shabby, is he.

One team has a world class striker and one doesn’t.

Made a huge difference tonight.

Don't even need a 'World Class' striker to score the two headers Nketiah missed. I fancy arsenal to win that game with Ivan Toney up front, or Callum Wilson or Mitrovic. I'm not sure there's a team in the league that would swap their first choice striker for Eddie Nketiah. Maybe Man Utd.

In the second half 22% of Manchester City passes were categorised as “long ball”, the highest 2nd half percentage of long ball passes since Pep was appointed Manchester City manager. Pep had clearly identified a weakness in the Arsenal back 4 and Manchester City full took advantage.
