Carling Cup Match Report: Arsenal 0 vs 1 Manchester City – Part 2
The second half kicked off with a bang, as City looked to take the game to Arsenal early on in the half.
In just the 47th minute, City went on to construct a brilliant move which resulted in the ball being played to Dzeko in front of the Arsenal goal. The forward then went on to turn and take a shot at goal, but his effort managed to just stray off
target and sail behind for a goal kick. However, the move was easily the best one of the night and showed just what to expect from the game.
As the match progressed, Arsenal’s youngsters finally started to get a firm footing in the game. They seemed to be far more comfortable than the City players and were producing some brilliant football on the pitch.
The North London club’s passing was top notch and their ability to run around the City players was rather astonishing.
However, despite all their threat, Arsenal couldn’t really produce a decent chance in front of goal, despite all their dominance in the midfield and in front of the opposition half.
After a dry spell, which saw Arsenal dominate but not create anything, City went on to break on the Gunners and score the only goal of the game.
In the 83rd minute of the match, City broke from an Arsenal corner and the ball was played by Dzeko to Johnson. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international then played the ball to Aguero, who made no mistake from ten yards out, as he slotted his effort into the
back of the net.
