Man City star delighted with ‘massive’ win over Arsenal

David Silva scored the only goal of the game in the win over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Kompany told Sky Sports: “It was massive for us, we didn’t underestimate the importance of this game and we’re happy with the result and to keep a clean sheet.

“We’ve been going for a lot of goals and could have scored many, but we didn’t finish the chances we had today, although individually we won most of our challenges.”

Goalkeeper Joe Hart added: “We put pressure on ourselves. Manchester United are brilliant, but we knew we had a job to do this afternoon and that if we won we’re back where we want to be.”
