Man City ace Bernardo: We faced a wiser Arsenal this time

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva admits they played a wiser Arsenal for Sunday's 0-0 draw.

Bernardo concedes the result was not what City wanted as they trail leaders Liverpool by three points.

He said, "Last April they went man to man for the whole game and when you do that is a bit of a fifty- fifty. Today it was a different [Arsenal] team, more experience. They have young players that are now one year more experienced. They felt what it was to play here last season and today they were much better."

On the title race, he stated: "A lot can happen.

"Now we don't depend on ourselves, we depend on Liverpool and Arsenal now because we don't play against them again, so we need them to drop points as well as do our job and win our own games."
