It is arguably one of the biggest matches of the season for both Arsenal and Manchester City, and things have started to shift the tide thanks to a disappointing mistake by Takehiro Tomiyasu.
The game had gone back and forth for 24 minutes, and what seemed to be a routine move for the Japanese defender ended with the ball in the back of Arsenal's net.
Jack Grealish was key to this goal, as his pressure against Tomiyasu forced the player to try and pass the ball back to his goalkeeper. The main issue with his move was that Kevin De Bruyne was all alone closer to the ball than Aaron Ramsdale, and he was able to get to it and hit the ball with a nice chip over Ramsdale's head.
Have a look at Tomiyasu's mistake and subsequent goal by De Bruyne (Image might be geo-restricted).
