Last season's top two both lost just twice, so ambitious Arsenal could ill afford to start the new campaign with back-to-back defeats...
That finale – two goals in twelve minutes – might have shaved years off Jonas Eidevall’s life expectancy but it keeps Arsenal’s season alive. Marc Skinner, the Manchester United manager, mused in the post-match press conference that his own smart watch “will probably tell me I’ve had a heart attack or something. You could see a little bit of pressure on Jonas’ face, the way he celebrated.” Eidevall, meanwhile, lamented that his Apple Watch was subsisting on low battery mode.
Four points from their opening five games in 2021-22 had done all the damage; no matter that they subsequently lost just twice before the end of the season, only dropping points against Arsenal and Chelsea. Games outside of the head-to-heads between the top four continued to have a say the following season. City never picked up maximum points against Aston Villa, and a 2-1 defeat by Liverpool with two matches to go meant that they would relinquish their Champions League spot.
