#2 City and Guardiola will rue the two dropped points
Trending
It was a game the Citizens could and should have won, having led twice through Sane and Aguero.
Two goals – one quite scrappy and the other not entirely faultless – were conceded to allow the Gunners back into the game, giving away a point instead of taking away three.
Additionally, they missed a host of scoring opportunities and although David Ospina was kept fairly busy (compared to his opposite number), Guardiola’s men failed to deliver the killer blow.
David Silva, Aguero, Sane, Fernandinho and Sterling all came close but their attempts were blocked/saved/thwarted. In what is proving to be an exciting race for the top four slots this season, such are the games that prove to be 6-pointers against direct rivals. Instead, this one will count as two dropped points.
City were the better team at the Etihad when Liverpool paid them a visit but that ended all square too; another day and another draw is not exactly what they need.
Will these results come back to haunt the Citizens at the end of the season? Only time will tell.
