Vieira Slams Arteta’s Decision to Withdraw Eze in 2-1 Defeat to City

1 / 4

Arsenal icon Patrick Vieira has criticised Mikel Arteta’s decision to take Eberechi Eze off in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium. Vieira said Eze had been a bright spark on the left wing and helped create overloads in attack. Speaking on Sky Sports, Vieira admitted he was disappointed to see Eze withdrawn at a key moment. He argued that the England international was finding space and crafting chances that could have altered the outcome. Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki scored for Manchester City, giving the hosts a win that tightens the Premier League title race. Despite Arsenal staying top by three points, City now have a game in hand and a chance to close the gap.
