I suspect what was more important was Man City putting almost all their defenders on the near post / centre whilst the Arsenal players were all at the back post.

It's a routine that exploits stupid zonal marking.

I noticed this too. There were about 5 Man City players between the front of the 6 yard box and the near post. A simple cross to the back post cut them all out. They can whinge all they like about players being blocked/screened etc, but it was shite defending.
