City win Manchester derby, Arsenal suffer: Key takeaways
Manchester City handed a blow to neighbours and arch-rivals, Manchester United as they won 2-0 at Old Trafford in game-week 35 of the Premier League. City look favorites to win the league, whereas, United's disastrous phase continued. Meanwhile, Arsenal suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Wolves, as they sit on the fifth spot with 66 points. Here are the key takeaways.
United look confused at the moment
United seem confused on the pitch. The gameplay was, once again, muddled with mistakes and there was little to cheer about. David de Gea appeared to be at fault for both the goals. United's mid-fielders had a horrific time on the pitch and Jesse Lingard missed a sitter. Notably, they had received 0-4 thrashing by Everton last Sunday. The lack of hunger is evident.
City are favorites to win the Premier League title
City have been fantastic whole season and credit to Liverpool for matching their intensity. Whatever happens from here on, both clubs deserve an ovation for superb display of football. However, City are the favorites now to win the league. They were a class apart in the second half and fed on United's gifts to punish them. The quality possessed by the club was highlighted.
Wolves know how upset the big sides
Wolves have been superb against the Premier League's top six clubs this season as they swept off Arsenal at home. Manager Espirito Santo deserves the applaud for the character shown by his side throughout the season. They have beaten Tottenham, Chelsea, United and now Arsenal to cap off a fairytale season. Wolves have the spirit and some big additions will help them prosper.
Sloppy Arsenal in the same bracket as United and Chelsea
Arsenal, United and Chelsea are way below the table toppers, City and Liverpool. One among these three clubs is likely to take the number four spot in the EPL table. This means that the fight could go on until the final game-week. With all the money they have invested on signing new footballers, the three teams are nowhere near to the level they desire.
