Man City Loses, Kyle Walker Makes Up With Arsenal Assistant Manager
JAKARTA - An embarrassing incident by Manchester City players who looked disappointed with the team's defeat in the big match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday, October 8 evening WIB. Defender Kyle Walker made a fuss with assistant manager Arsenal Nicolas Jover.
The 1-0 defeat to Arsenal has indeed frustrated Man City. How not, the team with the status of defending champions seemed unable to accept the fact that they suffered two consecutive defeats.
In that big match, Arsenal beat Man City for the first time in five years through Gabriel Martinelli's goal. This is Man City's second defeat because previously, they were forced to surrender 2-1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The bad result made Man City downgrade. Not half-hearted, Man City are in third place with 18 points.
Left behind by two points with the North London duo, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. Tottenham perched at the top after a 1-0 win over Luton Town.
The defeat also disappointed and frustrated Man City's players. When he left the field, Walker was greeted and invited to shake hands with Jover. Arsenal's assistant manager was indeed part of Man City's coaching staff in 2019-2021.
Only Walker, who was in high tension, even dismissed Jover. Not only that, Walker had a chance to make a fuss with Jover who is now Mikel Arteta's assistant manager.
