Bernardo Silva from Manchester City subtly hinted at Arsenal’s defensive strategy during their match at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
While Arsenal managed to secure a hard-earned 0-0 draw as visitors, maintaining their narrow one-point lead over Liverpool, it was Liverpool who emerged as the biggest winners of the day by clinching the top spot.
Despite ending a streak of seven consecutive away losses against Pep Guardiola’s team, Arsenal’s defensive approach did not receive widespread acclaim.
Their tactic of sitting deep and absorbing pressure garnered criticism from both online commentators and pundits like Gary Neville, particularly during the first half of the game.
