Draw between Arteta and Guardiola. Manchester City and Arsenal failed to score any goals

On March 31st, the central match of the 30th round of the English Premier League took place at the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City and Arsenal clashed. Prior to the face-off, the "Gunners" were one point ahead of Pep Guardiola's team, and this match was viewed through the prism of the title race.

As befitting a match with such a high-profile billing, the teams started aggressively, but the battle mostly unfolded in the center of the field. From the dangerous moments, one can only recall a chance for Ake and a couple of missed opportunities for Gabriel Jesus.

In the second half, the pattern of the game differed little from the first half. The "Cityzens" typically dominated possession, but they couldn't find success. Arsenal didn't shy away from fouling in attempts to stop the technical Manchester City players and sought opportunities for counterattacks. Coaches tried to change the course of the match with substitutions, but little changed. The teams managed only three shots on target between them, and the final whistle confirmed a predictable draw.
