Manchester City won this Sunday in London to Arsenal (0-2) and he ended the 22nd day of the Premier League as he began, seven points behind leader, el Manchester United, who had previously defeated Liverpool (2-1) an Old Trafford. The match, marked by the expensive tickets that he had imposed on the visiting club and that was the reason for the absence of citizen followers as protests against the abusive prices (72 pounds the most expensive, when in Pamplona it was difficult to see Madrid 90 euros the cheapest) offered a very solid Manchester City.

The City, unlike what has been usual, dominated possession of the ball, especially in the first part, against an Arsenal that noticed the loss of Spanish Mikel Arteta in the midfield due to injury. Besides, The match soon turned to the defender of the title., in the eighth minute, when the referee awarded a penalty for a grab by the French defender Laurent Koscielny on the Bosnian Edin Dzeko. The defender saw a direct red card for the action.
Dzeko's own shot was cleared by Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and the ball hit the post before crossing the goal line and finally being caught by the goalkeeper..

This action changed the development of the match little.. City dominated and created chances, while Arsenal waited in their field.
The visitors' dominance was reflected on the scoreboard when the Frenchman Samir Nasri quickly took a free kick, She played with the Spanish David Silva and he with the Argentine Carlos Tevez who put her in the gap for James Milner to shoot (minute 21).

Dzeko put an end to his unfortunate start and widened the gap in the minute 31. City stole the ball in three quarters and began a transition in which the Argentine Carlos Tevez finished very poorly and the Bosnian striker pushed the ball into the net.
“I cannot comment on the expulsion in the penalty play, but it was a penalty with 100% security. After missing the shot I told myself that I had to score”, Dzeko said..

The expulsion in the minute 75 of the Belgian central defender of Manchester City, Vincent Kompany, for entering Jack Wilshere legs first, the situation did not change.
“It was a good result for us because playing at Arsenal's ground is always difficult.”, said the City coach, Roberto Mancini. “We started the game well, with a good attitude, but the expulsion (de Koscielny) made a difference”, he added.
