Manchester City and Arsenal settled for a goalless draw in a lackluster encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Instead of a clash of the titans, both teams struggled to impress thir fans with neither side able to break the deadlock.
Mikel Arteta’s men displayed a defensive mindset, opting for tactical fouls and time-wasting tactics to frustrate their opponents.
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola’s City lacked their usual attacking flair, failing to create clear-cut opportunities throughout the game.
Despite the introduction of attacking talents like Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku in the second half, City struggled to penetrate Arsenal’s strong defense.
The Gunners had a few chances of their own, with goalkeeper Stefan Ortega called into action late in the game to deny Leandro Trossard.
The result leaves Manchester City trailing in the title race, while Arsenal’s hopes of challenging for the top spot remain in the balance.
