Post Match Review: Arsenal vs Manchester City

Manchester City has lost a deciding match, having beaten by Arsene Wenger's men in last night match. Statistic showed that Mancini side is losing the edge and lost control of the game. Prior to Arteta's goal, the wood work has saved Manchester City twice from a worse faith. However, Mario Balotelli made headlines one more time as he received second yellow card at the end of the match. It's likely that Mario will face 3 matches ban from FA. Let's take a look:


And the play by play: 


Manchester City was dominated in all statistic, and only had 36% of ball possession. Mancini's strategy, which was praised widely by the media, is losing its grip; and many experts pointed up his rigidness in his strategy and not much change were introduced when other teams stated to catch up with their playing style. His soft touch on Balotelli is another point that being thrash talked a lot in discussion board and forums. 


Well, it seems that all hopes for the title have lost for Manchester City, trailing behind MU 8 points. In the earlier match, MU has scrapped a 2-0 win over 10 men QPR. In the last two matches, referee's favor always has the say in the Red Devil match. With their experience as a title contestant for so many years, it seems unlikely that Ferguson's men will hiccup in the last 6 rounds.
