EKO HOT BLOG reports that Aymeric Laporte, a key player for Manchester City, has taken a jibe at Arsenal after the Gunners suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday.
Manchester City’s triumph against Everton earlier in the day, coupled with Arsenal’s loss, has brought Pep Guardiola’s side within touching distance of clinching their fifth Premier League title in six years.
With Arsenal needing a victory over Brighton at the Emirates Stadium to maintain pressure on Manchester City, their lackluster performance fell far short against an impressive Brighton side.
The defeat now leaves Arsenal in a precarious position, as they must secure a win against Nottingham Forest next Saturday and hope for a series of favorable outcomes in Manchester City’s final three matches to keep their slim title hopes alive.
Aymeric Laporte, who is a fringe player in Pep Guardiola’s squad but has experienced the taste of winning the title, seized the opportunity to mock Arsenal following their defeat to Brighton.
The Spanish international took to Twitter and posted a GIF featuring former WWE wrestler The Rock with a caption that read, “Mmmmm, I can smell it.”
Laporte’s tweet garnered a positive response from Manchester City’s fanbase, with supporters fully aware of their team’s imminent claim to a third consecutive league title.
The mocking tweet serves as a testament to the growing confidence and excitement surrounding Manchester City’s title aspirations. Laporte’s contribution to the team’s success, even in a supporting role, has provided him with a unique perspective on the significance of Arsenal’s defeat in the title race.
While Laporte’s tweet may have been received with enthusiasm by Manchester City fans, it adds salt to the wounds of Arsenal supporters, who had hoped for a different outcome in their crucial match against Brighton.
As the Premier League season reaches its climax, the focus will now shift to Manchester City’s upcoming matches and the possibility of them securing the title.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will have to regroup and reassess their goals for the remaining matches, aiming to salvage their season and end on a positive note, despite their dwindling title hopes.
