EPL: Arsenal really quick with two players – Guardiola

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has insisted that Arsenal are really quick with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.

The Spaniard spoke at his post-match press conference after his side’s Premier League 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

According to Guardiola, Man City started well against Mikel Arteta’s side, adding that the draw was a good point for the Cityzens.

The result moved City to top of the Premier League table, while Arsenal sit in fourth position after five matches.

“Still we are there. We started well, scored a fantastic goal and then conceded. We know that Arsenal are really quick with [Gabriel] Martinelli and [Bukayo] Saka,” Guardiola said.

“We were so smart to not make quick actions and not concede fouls. Long balls, crosses, don’t touch them. That is good because the game continues. We could have scored before, we scored at the end. It’s a good point for us.”
