Arsenal requires just one more point to stay in contention for the Premier League title, and a significant error from Manchester City‘s goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, has contributed to narrowing that gap.
Just 107 seconds after Rayan Cherki maneuvered through Arsenal’s defense to kick off Sunday’s match, and it was the goalkeeper’s blunder that led to the goal against his side.
The Italian goalkeeper took too long on the ball and misjudged his touch, allowing Kai Havertz to seize the moment.
Havertz closed down the area so effectively that when Donnarumma attempted to clear the ball, it rebounded off Havertz and into the net, making it 1-1 from an incredibly tight angle.
Take a look at the moment…
Pep Guardiola was visibly upset on the sidelines, while Mikel Arteta celebrated the moment. How significant will this mistake be for Manchester City’s aspirations for the title?
