This is what we call a failed plan. The Arsenal supporters did not succeed. This Monday, members of the Ashburton Army – the Gunners’ ultra group – threw fireworks in front of the Manchester City players’ hotel. Problem is, they had not yet arrived in London. They will be in the English capital this Tuesday morning.

As a reminder, Pep Guardiola’s men are traveling to Tottenham this evening to play a late match. In the event of victory, the Skyblues would take the lead in the championship with two points ahead of Arsenal with one day remaining.
