    When you are in possession you tire the opposition out and that is what City have done.

    It hasn't been through Arsenal not trying, it's just how difficult Manchester City are to play against.

    Arsenal 0-1 Man City

    Kieran Tierney almost gets it through to Alexandre Lacazette but he's blocked on the edge of the box.

    Joao Cancelo then gives it straight to Lacazette but he can't make the most of it.

    Gabriel Jesus tries to counter with City but Hector Bellerin takes him out. Into the book.

    Thomas Stockting: Am I the only one who thinks that the timing of Arsenal's subs is always a little off? Someone like ESR could do with more than barely 15 minutes to get into the game and influence it.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tries to take on John Stones down the left but the City centre-back just eases him off the ball.

    Aubameyang goes tumbling off the pitch in the process but gets up smiling, while Stone high-fives Ruben Dias. Solid defending.

    If he hits it with his left, it is a goal. It was brilliant how he orchestrated that, fantastic feet.

    That is your right back in the number nine position in the penalty area taking a shot.

    Arsenal 0-1 Man City

    Joao Cancelo does so well. He drives at the defence, lays it off to Gabriel Jesus on the right and gets it back from him in the box.

    Cancelo then checks inside smarly and tries to pick out the far corner with the outside of his boot. He should score really!

    Rob Holding took a whack in the build-up too and is getting some treatment.

    Arsenal 0-1 Man City

    Arsenal are absolutely still in this. City have created chances but they haven't finished them off yet.

    It's drifting and you feel the long this goes on, the more chance Arsenal have of nicking an equaliser at the end.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulls it back for Bukayo Saka in the middle. He has to change direction quickly as it's slightly behind him and he slips, allowing Fernandinho to make the block.
