Former Super Eagles midfielder Sunday Oliseh has expressed his admiration for Arsenal’s passionate display in the fierce 2-2 tie against Manchester City at the Etihad.
The contest involved two teams regarded as Premier League title contenders, proving that Arsenal are resilient competitors, despite ending the last season in second place.
City was in command early in the game, but Arsenal answered through Ricardo Calafiori, and Gabriel and Leandro Trossard’s red card turned the game around.
Arsenal’s defensive capabilities withstood all 28 attempts on target and City’s 90% possession until its late stoppage-time goal.
Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva brutally mocks Arsenal’s history aftermath of Sunday’s draw as reported earlier by Sportsbuddy.
The Former Super Eagles Coach Praise Arsenal
Oliseh took to social media after the match to express his praise for Arsenal, stating they “totally deserved victory” and that Trossard’s “doubtful red card” saved City from a larger defeat.
“Arsenal totally deserved victory over Manchester City. This doubtful red card saved Manchester . City some thrashing from a well-organised Arsenal side, in my opinion,” the former Super Eagles coach wrote.
“Conpact, direct playing with a world-class goalkeeper. Arsenal could be champions this year!”
Arsenal’s compact play and top goalkeeping abilities were emphasised by him, indicating that they may actually be in for a title this year.
Arsenal have narrowed the gap to Manchester City to just two points, making the Premier League title race extremely open in the early stages.
