Arsenal were facing Pep Guardiola’s Premier League championsManchester City at The Emirates… and I was fearing the worst. We went toe to toe againstundeniably the best football team in the league at the time, and in myopinion the greatest Premier League team ever. It may feel familiar now, but before then the idea of Arsenal under Artetacompeting with City felt a million miles away. Bukayo Saka’s goal against Manchester City in a 2-1 defeat showcased new-look Arsenal under Mikel Arteta at their bestIt’s difficult to overstate the mess Arsenal were in on and off the fieldwhen Arteta first took charge in December 2019. And history,unfortunately, is at risk of forgetting this Arsenal team unless they winsomething big.
