MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City landed a potentially crucial psychological blow on Arsenal by knocking the Premier League leaders out of the FA Cup with ...

A trip to Spurs in the Premier League (Feb. But if Arsenal lose Ramsdale to injury or suspension between now and the end of the season, Turner showed against City that he can step up and perform in the Premier League. Arsenal: After a week of training and downtime, the Gunners have three straight league games at Everton (Feb. Guardiola has already trusted the youngster in big games against Liverpool and Arsenal, so he clearly has huge faith in him, which looks to be justified. But having been restricted to outings in the FA Cup and Europa League since arriving at the Emirates from New England Revolution last summer, Turner was facing a Premier League opponent for the first time at the Etihad. With City and Arsenal due to meet for the first time in the league at the Emirates on Feb. But the 28-year-old performed well and he showed that he has the same kind of attributes that Gunners boss Arteta rates so highly in Ramsdale. What impresses most about Lewis is his calmness and awareness, both with and without the ball. Haaland spent much of the game throwing his arms in the air and shaking his head, but there was no goal. Despite his imposing frame, he is not a striker who enjoys playing with his back to the goal, and he enjoys being closely marked even less. In an attempt to beat the Arsenal press, City opted to hit long balls to Haaland with the expectation that he would hold it up and lay it off to his teammates. Holding, who has started cup games for Arsenal only this season, is a journeyman defender at best, but he used his experience and defensive knowledge to contain Haaland.

Our Emirates FA Cup campaign comes to an end as Nathan Ake grabs the only goal of the game at Etihad Stadium.

He wriggled his way into the box and drew in a couple of defenders, allowing him to nudge the ball to an unmarked Ake who slid a shot precisely into the bottom corner. Kevin de Bruyne drifted inside and bent a trademark shot fractions wide of the far post as both teams went into the break ruing missed opportunities. Ultimately we couldn’t find the goal that would have kept us in the competition.

Charlie Patino has been thrust into a Championship relegation battle at Blackpool - but the Arsenal starlet is impressing and improving.

That’s the complete game of a midfield player and defensively he has to be able to press and screen. Having endeared himself to supporters with a goal against arch-rivals [Preston North End](https://theathletic.com/football/team/preston-north-end/), McCarthy will hope more will follow. He did so in the first half to get on the end of a quick move down the right but his shot was tame. “We’re asking him to be the all-round midfield player. He might press and get played past, but in the first half, he lost it in front of us about 20 yards into their half and won it back in the 18-yard box at the other side of the pitch. He has been used as a No 6 and a No 8 where his natural qualities have shone through, but there has been a sharp learning curve with the demands of senior football. That need to be quicker on the ball was present against Premier League opposition at St Mary’s on Saturday. Players are rarely shipped to teams where they will have it easy, they will be sent to places where they can come to terms with the reality of professional football and where they will be pushed to improve.
