Bernardo elated after 'very big' win over Arsenal Captain Bernardo Silva expressed his delight after City's crucial 2-1 Premier League victory over Arsenal, taking us within three points of the league-leaders with a game in hand. Match Report Haaland fires City to crucial victory over Arsenal A magnificent solo effort from Rayan Cherki had us ahead after 16 minutes, before the Gunners levelled 107 seconds later through Kai Havertz. Haaland had the final say at a jubilant Etihad Stadium, sweeping in a 65th minute winner to put us within touching distance of the Gunners in the title race.
“Yeah very big[ [win],” began Bernardo in his interview after the game. “It puts us in a position that if we win the game in hand we’re on the same points. “If you look two weeks ago this didn’t look very likely.
A tough game, a good game and we’re happy that we can be on the same points. “I thought we were very good until we made the mistake and we changed the mood a bit after the 30th minute. The second half was tough, it looked like we were in control, we had more possession, but they were always dangerous, they had two big chances.
“These big games are like this, the small margins make the difference. Overall we played a good game. We were there, our fans were there, so I’m really proud.
“It’s a long season. A lot of small details didn’t go our way earlier this season. Unlucky plays that we had, we missed a lot of chances and today things went our way.
