Guardiola spots genius as City close on Arsenal
Manchester City beat Sunderland 3-0, pulling within two points of Arsenal. Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki shone, with Cherki’s sublime assist stealing the show. Pep Guardiola even compared his calm passing to Messi’s simplicity — though anyone copying Messi might still check if the cape comes separately.
Savinho also impressed off the bench, responding to earlier criticism with improved defence. Josko Gvardiol’s corner goal marked City’s third straight set-piece success, to the roaring delight of Etihad fans convinced Cherki is the club’s next superstar.
