Haaland is useless, Manchester City misses the stunner! Arsenal misses the top spot, and Liverpool receives a big gift

With the return of the national team break, the five major leagues have rekindled the fire, and the Premier League triumph has entered the final sprint stage, the 30th round of the Premier League this weekend is fully kicked, and the first Liverpool reversed Brighton 2-1 to temporarily reach the top, Manchester City and Arsenal staged a head-to-head duel, and the two sides were only 1 point apart before the game, which made the atmosphere tense. Although Arsenal won 1-0 in the first leg, the Blues have won all of their last eight home games against the Gunners, with a clear psychological advantage. Haaland was habitually invisible in this game, and missed the opportunity to kill, the game was more than exciting and not exciting, Manchester City and Arsenal drew 0-0, and Liverpool took the opportunity to sit at the top of the table.

The outcome of this match is likely to have a direct impact on the ownership of the championship, and both sides naturally have no reservations. Pep Guardiola reverted to a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Ortega replacing the injured Ederson in the back of the net, Akanji playing at right-back, joining Dias, Ake and Gvardiol at the back, Rodri playing as a single midfielder, B Bench, Kevin De Bruyne, Kovacic and Foden lined up, and Haaland continued to play alone.

Arteta also followed his usual 4-3-3 formation, with Kai Havertz continuing to play as a central striker, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka flanked off, Declan Rice, Jorginho and Odegaard in midfield, and a back four of Kiwior, Gabriel, Saliba and Ben White, with Raya continuing to guard the goal.

After the start of the game, both teams were very aggressive. Less than two minutes into the game, Foden sent in a clever pass that Haaland had changed direction in the box and went to the ground, but the referee signalled for offside. In the seventh minute, Arsenal opened a gap on the right, Ben White crossed from the bottom, Jesus unloaded the ball and took advantage of the situation to shoot slightly wide. In the 16th minute, De Bruyne crossed from a corner, Rodri grabbed the nod and attacked the goal vigorously, and Raya held the ball down in front of the goal line in time.

In the 27th minute, Manchester City were hit by injuries, Ake limped and couldn't hold on, Guardiola made a passive substitution, and Rico Lewis came off the bench. Four minutes later, Kiwior crossed from the left and Gabriel Jesus shook off the edge of the box and fired a powerful shot just wide of the post.

Haaland had just seven touches of the ball in the first 45 minutes, with eight shots from both sides combined but nothing to achieve and he returned to the dressing room with a 0-0 scoreline.

Once back on the pitch, both teams were interested in increasing the tempo of the game, and in the 47th minute, Seat B broke through on the right and crossed, Kovacic fired a shot from outside the box, and the ball grazed the post and went just wide.

In the 52nd minute, Saka broke through the cross from the right, Jesus kicked the ball at the back point, Arsenal missed a good opportunity! Seeing that it was unable to score for a long time, Guardiola took the lead, and in the 61st minute, Manchester City made two substitutions in a row, Doku and Grealish came on, and Kovacic and Foden were replaced. Mikel Arteta responded immediately, with Tomiyasu and Thomas coming on to bolster the midfield defence.

In the 64th minute, Rodri picked up a pass from the edge of the penalty area, and Haaland stopped the ball and turned to force a shot, but it was easily blocked by Saliba. This is also a microcosm of Haaland's whole game, under the focused care of the Arsenal defence, Majin Buu even has difficulty touching the ball and is almost invisible.

In the 75th minute, Saka was inattentive and De Bruyne cut off the ball and crossed it to Gabriel. De Bruyne's cross from a corner was then spun straight towards goal, and Raya struggled to defuse the danger.

In the 84th minute, De Bruyne crossed from a corner kick, Gvardiol's header was ferried, Haaland thought about life, shot from close range and missed a good chance to score!

In the end, Manchester City drew 0-0 with Arsenal and failed to avenge the 1-0 defeat in the first leg. The Gunners and the Blue Moon Army were both defeated, and Liverpool laughed and took the opportunity to sit at the top of the table.
