Silva Admits City’s Transition Gave Arsenal the Title Edge
Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva says his side’s early-season inconsistencies handed Arsenal the initiative in this year’s Premier League race. With two games to play, City trail the Gunners by two points despite a strong second half and big January signings. Silva believes fewer mistakes in their “transition season” could have seen City lift the trophy. Arsenal have led the table for much of this campaign and stand poised to end a 20-year wait for the title. Silva, a six-time Premier League winner, says he always expected Arsenal to challenge once their squad matured.
