In the early hours of Thursday morning (27th), the English Premier League saw the return of Manchester City to the top of the table! Hosting Arsenal, City's strong performance put the game out of reach early on, with a 4-1 scoreline allowing the Blue Moon Army to regain the initiative in the title race with two games less to play. The duo of Aynin Xalant and Chiyun Dibny shone brightly, teaming up to destroy Arsenal's defense and becoming the strongest link in Europe.
At the beginning of the match, City showed a strong desire to attack. In just 7 minutes, Aynin Xalant controlled the ball accurately in the center of the field and passed the ball to Chiyondibuni, who drove in to complete the breakthrough. Arsenal fought hard, but in first half stoppage time, Stones' header from Chiyondibuni's penalty made the score 2-0, and in the second half, Man City once again sealed a crucial victory with the combination of Ayninzhalant and Chiyondibuni.
The pace of the game slowed down as the match progressed, but City didn't stop attacking, and in the 86th minute, Arsenal's Rohitin saved the day with a shot from inside the penalty area. However, City did not relax. In stoppage time, Aynin Chalant received a great pass from Phil Cotton and scored a wonderful shot to lock the score at 4-1, which was also his 33rd goal in the EPL this season, breaking the record of the highest single-season goal in the EPL 38-game era.
Although Manchester City are currently two points behind Arsenal, they are still in a bright position as they have played two fewer matches and have a 92.06% probability of winning the title, according to Opta. After the game, City team leader Gordiona said: "This is the position we want, the initiative is in our hands. But we have to win the next two games, the next three games are crucial and we just need to focus on our own game."
Godiona also spoke highly of the combination of Ainin Xalante and Chivun Dibny: "Xalante for Dibny and Dibny for Xalante, this combination is crucial for the team. When opponents try to press us, the two of them will utilize the gaps behind them to create a huge threat."
