Premier League 2018/19, Manchester City 3-1 Arsenal: 5 Hits and Flops

Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling were superb

#5 Hit - Matteo Guendouzi

Matteo Guendouzi and KDB battle out for the ball

If Unai Emery is ready to pick positive out of this game, it must be the 19-year-old Matteo Guendouzi's phenomenal performance.

The French teenager was given the job to mark Kevin De Bruyne throughout the game, and he has come away with flying colours even though Arsenal failed to do the job collectively.

During the first half, the midfielder attempted 22 passes, of which all were successful. Besides, the French International was able to win back the ball more than any other Arsenal player during the first 45 minutes.

In the remaining part of the game, he completed 31 passes out of 32 attempted. He was winning duels for fun and nullified the brilliance of Kevin De Bruyne for most parts of the game.

He contributed to the attack by producing one key pass which broke the Manchester City defence.

Rightfully, his performance is lauded by the Gunners faithful despite the away side crumbling down.
