Why Arsenal Beating Man City Had Nothing To Do With "Luck" 

That movement Tomiyasu did was absolutely phenomenal. Until that moment, City's defensive line were winning all the aerial duels. Who in their right mind would expect that a left back, who usually comes in to close the game and solidify the defense, would make a run like a number 8. Arteta took the risk, threw a punch and it landed. Big props to him for that.

It's funny, everyone's saying it was boring, and i guess for a neutral it must've been but i was never once bored because i was too busy panicking

Man City should have been down to 10 men at 35 minutes. Kovacic was very late, made contact, caused pain, instant red by the bookm but the ref waved it on, no VAR, comical, unfair. Man City get very few red cards.

I find it crazy analysts called this a bad game of football. It felt like it was on a knifes edge the whole time. It was awesome.

The sheer beauty of the passes!Witness Tomiasu as he clears Martinelli's path for the goal! Arteta's tactical genius prevailed! Bravo!

I am more shocked at how Arsenal managed to contain City. I definitely was not expecting a technical game on this level, let alone Arsenal winning the game. But this was a hard fought win against the best football team in the wrold.

No one is talking about Declan Rice’s transfer fee anymore. No one, not a soul mentions it. I think that’s pretty telling of the signing he was.

Saka Injured, Martinelli and Partey starting on the bench. As an Arsenal Fan it was already advantage City when the game started. I know city didnt have KDB or Rodri, but we have seen them get results without their big players before. Arsenal without their big players tend to crumble in recent years. COYG

The moment Rice won back that ball in front of the Arsenal six yard box was the moment I knew we are playing to win and not to draw. Then followed the phenomenal long pass that split the MCity defence from Thomas P which produced the goal.🎉🔥. Performances to note, Ben White, Soliba, even Raya’s goal keeping although a bit shaky was still impressive. And the there is Gabriels both of them, Odegard … in fact the team and the managerial team, classic performance in all.💪🏾👏🏾.

Arsenal practiced that sequence with Tomi and Havertz. The German would have been first option to shoot, with Martinelli the second.

That goal never happens if Guardiola doesn’t switch Doku to the other side. Tomiyasu was suddenly left with no one to defend on the left.

Fantastic analysis. I'm always trying to improve my understanding of the game and you made it very easy to understand. Good stuff

Saliba and Gabriel kept Haaland quiet throughout the game. Arsenal played the trump card in Martinelli and City couldn't respond. Still early days but don't ever rule out City in the Premier League title race.

this is the fogging estanderd guys

Once he said it was a bad game of football Because few chances were created I lost appetite. A good analyst would see that game as a tactical masterclass. Both teams set up so well to neutralize each other. Not even the kind of set up where one team sits so deep with no intention of playing any attacking football.

8:46 I just noticed big Tomi running to the side giving space for martinelli to shoot

If Arsenal had bet City just once last season, they would have won the league

saliba pocketed haaland

The pass map on top of the table line up is a great way to understand the points being made.

it's stuff like tomi popping up in a surprising position, that crazy chain goal started by ramsey vs fulham and the rosicky goal vs sunderland are the reasons i love this team

kovacic touching the ball in the second half was disgusting

You get games like these, I remember back when when Klopp came up against Wenger, back in the day, they cancelled each other out. Havertz is key to AFC change in form against City. City have no choice but to factor in a hold up merchant. It doesn't even matter if he has a good or bad game. Haaland isn't a great footballer (yes unbelievable striker) but you have to factor him in as a hold up merchant. I'm sure that played a part in City changing thing up with Silva. They must have come with a plan for Havertz, saw he wasn't on the team sheet, factored in Jorginho, needed to cancel out his CM attacking threat, pulled back Silva and it largely worked. Anyhow, teams now have a workable blueprint to compete with City on the day. City haven't moved on from not dealing with two up front, here you had Havertz and Tomiyasu doing the damage. Haaland a great striker but a meady footballer, he barely can deal with being man marked. Yes once KDB and Rodri are back, City will look explosive again but Haaland will remain central, that will not change. Him cancelled and long balls/hold up merchants will result in goals and difficulties.

This is my best sports channel so far.💯

Luck is a very great thing to have, especially when wanting to win her prem. You could argue that Leicester city winning the prem was full of luck since the top teams all struggled, and they managed to hold on unlike arsenal last season. -yeah it’s unlucky that pep doesn’t have probably the two most important players playing, but he still has class players that probably are starters for the top clubs around the world as backups. I mean stopping Haaland from or man city from having a shot since the 58th minute is crazy

Great analysis as always from our main man Adam Clery!

Indeed, it's not just luck!, remember "Fortune favours the bold".

Amazing analysis, very interesting and understandable too. You earn one more subscriber from myself 🎉❤

Arteta was a genius

I'd like you to do an analysis on the number of deflected goals Arsenal score. It's happening too often for it to be considered simply "luck". Just a thought.

How do you understand and give such a good analysis of games?!? It's INSANE!!!

Great vid, first time watching this channel. Looking forward to the "Why Arsenal Beating Man City AGAIN Had Nothing To Do With Luck" video...

You Master-analysed the whole thing from A-Z. Wait! How did you do all these? There you have it- all the psychology behind the result. So true, let no-o e say Arsenal didnt deserve that win. Good one bro

I chuckled the moment you broke down how narrow both teams ended up playing coz it was spot on! Also forget the Kovacic VAR red, he made the exact same tackle ON A YELLOW and the ref gave nothing!! The bias is off the charts recently, sickening to see.

It was really impressive how Man City seemed defanged, you easily could forget that they were the triple winners. Arsenal were making it look easy(ish) to shut them down. Disappointed it was a bit of a boring match and both teams were playing it cautious, but w/e lol. Martinelli totally changed the vibe though, can't score any goals if you don't take any shots.... so he just started shooting ^_^.

All so called TV, radio pundits and rivals should be viewing this terrific analysis.

Completely missed this. Great breakdown…

Nice breakdown, subbed!

Loved that you got screen grabs of tomi and rice in those moments, very agatha cristie how it all unfolded.

People saying Rodri was out. No one mentions WHY?. Throw up a vid of that?!

The trajectory of Martinelli late strike was headed towards the top right corner of the net should Ake's deflection had not occurred. So it is rather naive to discount that striking effort as pure luck. Martinelli has scored many of such goals in the past not because he was lucky.. he is just pure class.

Always such great commentary!

Brilliant analysis bro!!!

We were without saka,Partey,Martinelli not fully fit yet it's always about man city not having De bruyne and rodri,,pple don't mention Saliba as the great cause of us not being crowned last season as champions but they mention players man city who are treble winners were missing..for us the lable is bottlers but all is hate agenda

Dudeeee THIS BREAK DOWN!! YOU'RE BREAK DOWN!! A-MAZINGG!! 😭😭🤧🤧❤️❤️❤️ Road to 500k??!! You deserve a mil at leasttt. slowly but surely keep these contents coming G ❤️❤️

Great analysis, ty.

Tomiyasu - Oh You don't want to mark me watch this

Very entertaining. Thanks 👍

This was more like a smash and grab than a comprehensive win tbh.

Superb analysis 👏 👌

Artefacts put Tommy y haverts and partey off bench that says it all , he out managed pep

I subscribed because that was fantastic.

Iam so proud of the boys

That is actually the first time 4 subs have ever combined in top flight competative football match to score winning goal. And itvwas practiced on training pitch.

8 years of waiting, all made worth it after watching sore losers Walker, Grealish & Haaland show their true colors. They're no big characters , just spoiled brats. Like to give it out but can't take it. I'm going to cherish every single game we beat them from this day on- which make no mistake, will be quite a few. This was Liftoff. Arsenal are there now. No more thinking about 12 games losing streak.

Fantastic analysis

8:35 there's a jump in the editing, rewatched twice not sure if just from my end

Great analysis

a long ball towards the box for a knock down... that's from the sam allardyce playbook!

Pep is not finding any solution for his tactics till now he trying new tactics in every game right now and without rodri its making more hard for them

Don’t know what all the fuss is. Second time we’ve been clearly better than city this season. Only weapon they have against arsenal is KDB

So far we fail strategizing against teams from London though. Its always 2:2. If its 2:2 against West Ham I'm throwing my TV out the balcony!!

Kovacic deserved straight red for the odergourd challenge, another VAR failure.

Well explained love it !!! We are Arsenal

what happened at 8:35?????

great video

They call it boring cuz Arsenal won

Reminds me of a saying said in an anime I've now put in my top10 (Blue Lock): Luck exists in the game, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's exists through the effort it takes to put ones self in that point of luck. I'm paraphrasing of course~ Lock-off!

This was well explained. You're my go to guy

Because they selling gund and mahrez and no Rodri no KDB absolutely they lost the game bro

I would have given more love to Tomiyasu but otherwise great video

Host was catering to his new neighbors, kudos to him

Was surprised to see the title. I wonder how city didn't lose a player.

Is this the wrestling guy?

Difference was mainly big lucky punts to Haaland didn't have a chance to reach him deep in Saliba 's underpants

Tomiyasu is basically Ashito from Ao Ashi 😅

I don't agree with the statement 'skinned alive at the emirates' I'd argue we were the better team, tomiyasu gifted a goal, nketiah couldnt finish any chances where abetter striker would prolly walk with a hattrick

Great video, sorry to see Newcastle Lose an amazingly talented presenter but hope London does well for you

Brighton s manager have a youtube channel ????

Respectfully, the goal was very much a slice of very good fortune

Tomi is the most versatile player in the squad

Foden didn't respect Tomi in that moment. Tomi seized the moment.

Much better to than tifo ngl

Tommy would have just run over top of Foden if not goal side lol.

Your eye ok?

Its deflection dont go crazy

Just luck, you can have reason to point out after won only. It is just luck to hit the defender and score. You can say Man city is too passive but at the end it is just luck to score. Not agree with this title!!!

In what world was that a bad game. Defense masterclass more like

This chNnel is litt😮😮

City failed to utilize width

Man Arsenal aren't scoring if that didn't deflect. The reason it's called a lucky win is because of the goal.

Though Arteta has yet to win trophies, & I know he will win a lot, but if we forget that, he is probably the Best Coach of this new generation after PEP - Klopp generation..

Typical Havertz. That’s his one killer assist for the season, I wonder when he’ll score his killer goal? Probably in the UCL.

Nah, it was luck. Ake sinks that first goal, the game is different. Also Arsenal did bottle it. City were unstoppable at the end of the season. Arsenal's job was to beat the other teams. We can talk stats and grinding out nil nil draws against City, but Arsenal full strength may still be just below City full strength.

It was 11 v 11 both sides trying to make sure they kept a clean sheet. Simples. Only one team conceded. Simples. Where’s the complexity? They both thought 0-0 would be Ok and Arsenal said ‘let’s Nick it with a late one’, and they did it. What’s the mystery? Only that they weren’t already 2-0 down, because Arteta had already said ‘ we go a tight draw or a tight win’ and everyone said ‘that means we lose again’. Emirates is very slowly learning that their boys are learning how to win ugly! It’s a slow education, when team and fans both understand we’ll be ready to win the league.

Brilliant

City won the league against Liverpool TWICE because they won critical games that should have been dropped points.

Wasn't bad quality game just lacking attacking 😂

Mahrez and Gundo

it was a luck deflection just like most of our open play goals this season. dreaming

He looks like Ericsson
