Welcome to our live coverage of English Premier League (EPL) Gameweek 22, Sunday football actions. After yesterday's goal-fest, we have two important match-ups on Sunday. West Ham United will take on on Hull City, while Manchester City are welcoming Arsenal at Etihad Stadium.
Man City 0 - 2 (Cazorla 24'(P), Giroud 67') Arsenal: Jovetic just missed a golden opportunity to reduced the gap. The ball deflected for a corner in 79th minute.
Man City 0 - 2 (Cazorla 24'(P), Giroud 67') Arsenal: With each passing minute, Sanchez is beginning to show his real pace and guile. He is everywhere. Pellegrini has brought Edin Dzeko comes on for Jesus Navas in 76th minute.
Man City 0 - 2 (Cazorla 24'(P), Giroud 67') Arsenal: Rosicky subs Oxlade-Chamberlain as match hold on following a foul on Sanchez. Free kick to Arsenal. 66th minute.
GOAL! And from the set-play, Giroud heads home for the second goal. Delightful delivery from Cazorla. Fernando, who was checking the Frenchman, let loose his marking.
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Frank Lampard on for Fernandinho, 63rd minute. Lampard is undefeated as City player so far. Lucky mascot!
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: It could have easily gone in. But the teasing cross from the left missed Aguero on a vantage point, and went off a Arsenal defender for corner. City are pilling on the pressure on Gunners.(58th minute)
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Delayed yellow card for Bellerin (56th minute). The referee ran all the way from City goal-mouth to opposite end to flash the card. Moments ago, Arsenal had their chance to increase the lead. But Ramsey could produced only a skier from Sanchez-Giroud move.
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: A blatant, deliberate hand-ball by Fernandinho and he has been booked in 54th minute. The visible difference between these two sides is City are quick on the ball while, Arsenal are waiting for loose balls. Waiting can be dangerous though.
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Some frenetic defending from the Gunners. City's sweeping attacks from both the flanks are creating problems. City earned second half's second corner in 51st minute.
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Great start from the champions. Aguero forced Ospina to produced his first save of the match as early as 46th minute.
During the break, Pellegrini had brought in Stevan Jovetic in place of James Milner.
For a change, Arsenal sit deep in defence and the result -- a frustrating first half for Man City who have dominated the possession. Citizens, for all their creative play including four corners, got only one shot at the goal as late as 36th minute. In contrast, Arsenal had three sigh.
The half-time talk is: How can the Professor even think of playing such a negative game! Gunners did the same thing against Liverpool too, and won. It seems, Wenger is learning and want to win.
HALF-TIME UPDATE: Manchester City 0 - 1 Arsenal
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Yellow card for Ramsey, for a trip on Aguero in the middle in the 38th minute. A couple of minutes later, Kompany also get himself booked for a foul on Sanchez.
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Champions continue to search their equaliser with a spell of attacks, including a corner in 35th minute. But Arsenal's young defenders Bellerin and Coquelin are up to the task.
Man City 0 - 1 (Cazorla 24'(P)) Arsenal: Penalty to Arsenal. Kompany, who was brilliant so far, blocked Monreal inside the box. And Santi Cazorla scores from the spot, beating a diving Joe Hart on the right corner.
