    Arsenal are not morally compelled to play the way that Manchester City want them to play. So often accused of being too soft, #AFC are now accused of being too nasty. It's laughable. Arteta's only obligation is to find a way of getting a result. Comment:
    Manchester City’s bleating is laughable – did they expect Arsenal to just roll over?

    This was a big alpha male move from Van Dijk. Kepa standing to one side, gets beaten on that side anyway.

    Arsenal have the best defensive record in the Premier League, despite already playing Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United away.

    Ethan Nwaneri is coming on for Arsenal. He is 15. He was not allowed to get changed with the rest of the team today.

    Sambi Lokonga, a 21-year-old debutant, doing the post-match television interview. That's either a reflection of his own personality and leadership qualities, or another example of the complete lack of strong personalities in this Arsenal team. Or both. Probably both.

    Almost as if Iniesta is far too good to be playing in Japan

    Gabriel Jesus has now scored as many league goals from open play this season as Alexandre Lacazette scored in 21/22.

    Serious question: is Martin Odegaard the best player in the Premier League right now?
