Martinelli genius rescues a point as Pep suffers

- John CROSS

PEP GUARDIOLA joked that he was made to “suffer” after parking the bus for the first time in ten years.

Manchester City left the Emirates with a hard-fought draw after Gabriel Martinelli’s injury time equaliser rescued a point for Arsenal.

Point

But City had just 32.8 percent share of possession which is the lowest since Guardiola took charge at the Etihad in 2016 and is in stark contrast from his reputation as playing beautiful football.

City boss Guardiola laughed: “I can’t live in this country with another record. I’m so proud of it. You have to give Arsenal a lot of credit.

“One time in ten years is not bad, eh? I have to prove myself again with a different strategy. So, now I have a transition team.
