‘Streetwise Arsenal Show They Are Real Deal Amid Man City Pain’

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and his players could not hide their pain in the pouring Mancunian rain as a statement win they would rate higher than any other was snatched away at the death. The clock read 97 minutes and 14 seconds – those 14 seconds crucial to the chaotic conclusion – when John Stones rewarded Manchester City’s increasingly desperate efforts with an equaliser. City manager Pep Guardiola led celebrations that smacked of victory rather than a point claimed at the last, this in itself a testimony to tortuous experience this increasingly mature and steely Arsenal put them through.

Man City Open Title Defence With Victory At Chelsea

Erling Haaland scored on his 100th Manchester City appearance as the Premier League champions began their title defence with a win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Haaland opened the scoring on 18 minutes with a dinked finish over Robert Sanchez for his 91st City goal since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. Former Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic made the game safe late on with a curling shot from just outside the penalty area. A low-key match only fleetingly burst into life, with Kevin de Bruyne curling just wide from the edge of the box shortly after Haaland’s opener, before Sanchez…

UEFA Boss Chief Aleksander Ceferin Sure Of Man City’s FFP Guilt

Aleksander Ceferin insists UEFA were “right” about Manchester City breaching Financial Fair Play rules. In February 2020, City were initially banned from the Champions League for two seasons by UEFA and fined €30m (£25m) after they were found to have seriously misled European football’s governing body and broken Financial Fair Play rules. However, in July 2020, the two-season suspension was lifted after an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and the fine reduced from €30m to €10m. CAS indicated that “most of the alleged breaches” were “either not established or time-barred”. In February 2023, the Premier League…
