Super Sunday | Gunners land late blow to City | Walcott hails Rice's impact | Neville suggests City may have a ‘treble hangover'

Micah Richards and Theo Walcott joined Dave Jones on Super Sunday, and they watched Arsenal secure a late win against treble-winners Manchester City at a euphoric Emirates stadium. Substitute Gabriel Martinelli provided the pivotal moment, albeit via a crucial deflection off Nathan Ake. It sparked familiar jubilant scenes in the stands as the Gunners finally beat their rivals after losing the last twelve Premier League fixtures against the Citizens. Richards felt Arsenal were not at their best but said their performance was more intelligent than previous approaches to this fixture and highlighted the performance of William Saliba, who he described as ‘outstanding’. Theo Walcott singled out Declan Rice’s performance in midfield and believes he has taken the Gunners to another level.

Gary Neville joined the studio from the commentary gantry and questioned if Manchester City are struggling with a ‘treble hangover’, as they have now lost the last three domestic fixtures in a row after achieving ‘eutopia’ last season. There is also reaction from both dressing rooms with match-winner Martinelli and fellow Brazilian Gabriel Jesus, who feels the win means more than three points. Bernardo Silva conceded that the result was a setback for City, but said it is still very early in the season. Both managers also gave their post-match views, with Mikel Arteta praising the courage of his players, while Pep Guardiola said that he is not concerned about their recent run of domestic defeats.
