Manchester City Turn On the Style, Arsenal Held at Home
12/04/2025
Manchester City showcased their resilience and attacking prowess at the Etihad Stadium, coming from two goals down to hammer Crystal Palace 5–2 in a thrilling encounter.
Palace stunned the home crowd early, racing to a 2–0 lead within 21 minutes through goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards. But City, led by a majestic performance from Kevin De Bruyne, stormed back in style.
De Bruyne pulled one back with a sublime free-kick and orchestrated the midfield with trademark precision. Goals followed from Mateo Kovacic, James McAtee, Omar Marmoush, and Nico O'Reilly to seal a convincing win for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The result moves City up to 4th in the Premier League table, keeping their top-four hopes alive with just a handful of games remaining.
Arsenal’s title hopes took a hit as they were held to a frustrating 1–1 draw by a stubborn Brentford side at the Emirates Stadium.
Thomas Partey opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 61st minute, finishing off a brilliant run from Declan Rice. But Brentford hit back through Yoane Wissa, who converted a clever set-piece routine in the 74th minute.
Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, Arsenal couldn’t find a winner. The dropped points now leave Liverpool 10 points clear at the top, with a game in hand—firmly in control of the title race.
