The Israeli midfielder has come out and revealed that Arsenal’s win over Manchester City has been vital for them in the course of their race to retain a place in the top four of the Premier League standings…
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yossi-Benayoun-c37520 played a major part in Arsenal’s one goal win over Manchester City at the Emirates stadium in their latest league tie and the Israeli playmaker has said that gaining all three points against the second placed team
in the league has given them a massive boost in their attempt to cement themselves as the third place team in the league. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s win now means that Manchester City are eight points behind Arsenal, a gap that might be too much for the Citizens to overcome
in the few remaining games.
Manchester United are now top of the league table and the title race is done and dusted according to several pundits but Arsenal are still battling for the third place spot with the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea who are putting
pressure on the Gunners to slip up in the last few matches of the season. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mikel-Arteta-c25715 scored the only goal of the match for the home team which was a long range belter but now Arsenal must keep up their form if they want to qualify for next season’s UEFA
Champions League competition.
Benayoun said, “It was a big win and a very important three points in the race for the Champions League spots. Especially against a big side like Manchester City so we are delighted with the win. We had a good run before QPR, seven
games, and then we had a bad game, so we had to react against a strong team and we deserved the three points because from the first minute you only saw one team on the pitch.”
He added, "Not only before the game did Tottenham get a point but Chelsea got three and Newcastle too. Everybody is talking about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and us but Newcastle are doing so well. We had to take three points to open the gap back
to five points. It will be very close until the end of the season, we have to continue to play like this."
