City had now lost two of their eight games in this Premier League season immediately after a game in the UEFA Europa League (won six).

Comments:

The Gunners had now conceded the opening goal within the opening six minutes in three of their last four games in the Premier League. They had now won two of their eight games in this Premier League season immediately after a game in the UEFA Europa League (lost six). Arsenal were awarded a penalty after 12 minutes but was reversed after a VAR review due to a foul being committed outside of the penalty area. Arsenal were awarded a penalty after 45 minutes following a VAR review for handball.
