Arsenal might have won against Manchester City had Trossard not been sent off after receiving a red card in the 45th minute. Arsenal performed brilliantly from the first minute to the 45th minute, but playing half-time with one player down is difficult for any team, and even more so when the opponent is Manchester City. Manchester City attacked after half time and those attacks were only repelled by Arsenal.

If we discuss from the beginning of the match, then we must first mention Manchester City's goal in the ninth minute. Manchester City scored in the ninth minute, but Arsenal managed to score in two stages in the first half and they were ahead of Manchester City in the first half.
Arsenal was able to hold this lead until the end of the game but in the last minute they conceded another goal from Manchester City and the game ended here.

Arsenal played an impressive game against Manchester City, and despite conceding another goal at the end of the game, they need to be praised because it isn't easy to defend with 10 men against 11 players, this is what I was saying before the match started, if Arsenal cannot beat Manchester City, I do not expect them to lose, many people underestimated Arsenal against Manchester City, but when it comes to good defense Arsenal is a great team with powerful defenders in the Premier League, they know how to deal with their opponents' attackers, if Trossard is not sent off in the first 45 minutes, Arsenal will win the game. If Arteta players can maintain their game in such a way throughout the season, I believe they will have a chance to win the league title.

However, without Rodri and De Bruyne, I don't think Manchester City may pose a threat to another team. In yesterday match against Arsenal, Rodri was subbed off in 21 minutes, and a minute after that, Manchester City conceded a goal to level the score. With their current record, I don't think Manchester City can win the championship this season.
