On Wednesday late evening, intriguing 28th round matches were played in the English Premier League. In the empty Etihad stadium, London Arsenal suffered a devastating defeat against the hosts Manchester City. The "Gunners" nightmare began when David Luiz appeared on the field. At the end of the first half, Raheem Sterling scored after a mistake by the Brazilian. However, D. Luiz's troubles did not end there - just at the beginning of the second half, he committed a foul against Riyad Mahrez, was sent off the field, and also conceded a penalty kick. It was converted by Kevin De Bruyne to increase the lead. Towards the end of the match, Phil Foden added the third goal. The victory of Man City was overshadowed by the injury of young Eric Garcia. He left the field on a stretcher with a neck brace. The defender was collided at full speed by none other than his teammate - Ederson. After the defeat, Arsenal remains in 9th position. Man City 3 - 0 Arsenal. 45+2' [1 - 0] R. Sterling. 51' [2 - 0] K. De Bruyne (penalty kick). 90+1' [3 - 0] P. Foden. 49' D. Luiz (Arsenal) sent off the field.
