But was it the stress or was it simply nothing more than bad luck? City had 70% of possession and, on any normal day, that would lead to an easy three points. David Moyes set out his team brilliantly, they defended well and even created the better chances on the break. It was great work from the bench but don't forget that Arsenal did get a little luck and City got none. Then again, you know the old saying – you make your own luck and Arsenal certainly did.
