While it could be argued that awarding a penalty would have been severe, it’s certainly a point of contention in football officiating.
Manchester City has been showing more consistency in their recent performances, yet Arsenal likely remains focused on accumulating points amidst their inconsistent form.
If Arsenal can navigate through this challenging phase without significant point losses, they may regain their optimal performance level as the season progresses.
