Manchester City's win over Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday was an absolutely thrilling game to watch and analyse - not the cautious and cagey tactical battle I thought it might be.
Given they were the team who really needed to win, I expected City to be the ones to go after Arsenal from the off and that Mikel Arteta's side would have to weather the storm.
That kind of happened, but the reply from Arsenal to equalise immediately took the wind out of City temporarily.
Arsenal regained their poise and there was not much in it for the rest of the first half.
After half-time City came out brilliantly, but the way Arsenal responded - even before they went 2-1 down - is the way a top team should.
