The victory just summed up the Citizens brilliance this season, as they enjoyed 83 per cent possession during the game.<\/p>\n<p>City took the lead on 12 minutes. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sterling7\">Raheem Sterling<\/a><\/strong> played a reverse pass to David Silva, who fired a low strike into the far corner. Pep Guardiola\u2019s side doubled their lead, as Sterling scored a tap-in after good work from David Silva and cross from Fabian Delph.<\/p>\n<p>The home side made it three nine minutes into the second half, as <strong>Kevin De Bruyne<\/strong> hit a sublime effort from 30 yards into the top corner of the net. Ten minutes later City won a penalty, as Swansea defender <strong>Federico Fernandez<\/strong> made a silly foul on Sterling. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Gabriel Jesus<\/strong> stepped up and saw his spot-kick hit the post, only for <strong>Bernardo Silva<\/strong> to follow in and score with the rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus did finally get his name on the scoresheet on 88 minutes, diverting a superb chipped Yaya Toure cross past the helpless Lukasz Fabianski with his head. The Brazilian had deserved the good for his sheer determination to get on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p>The result meant very little to City, who have already sealed the title. However, at the other end of the table, the visitors remain just four points clear of the relegation zone with just four league games remaining.<\/p>\n<h2>Arsenal eventually overcome West Ham<\/h2>\n<p>In Arsenal boss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/arsene-wenger-announces-he-will-leave-arsenal-this-summer\/\">Arsene Wenger\u2019s penultimate home league game in charge of the Gunners<\/a>, the Frenchman\u2019s team recorded a 4-1 win over West Ham at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>After a goalless first half Arsenal took the lead early in the first half, as Spanish full-back <strong>Nacho Monreal<\/strong> struck a stunning volley from a Granit Xhaka corner kick. However, the visitors were back in the game on 64 minutes after Austrian international <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarkoArnautovicOfficialpage\">Marko Arnautovic<\/a><\/strong> scored with a powerful strike.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham looked to be heading for a point. However, with just eight minutes remaining, Irons youngster Declan Rice decided not to head away <strong>Aaron Ramsey<\/strong>\u2019s cross and the Welshman\u2019s centre went past Joe Hart into the goal. Arsenal put a gloss on the scoreline in the final five minutes, as French striker <strong>Alexandre Lacazette<\/strong> struck with two powerful efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The result leaves Arsenal sixth-place and six points behind fifth-place Chelsea. Meanwhile, West Ham are now six points clear of the relegation zone and despite the defeat look unlikely to suffer relegation.<\/p>\n<h2>Stoke and Burnley ends all square<\/h2>\n<p>Stoke headed into their home clash with Burnley in desperate need of maximum points to escape the relegation zone. However, they could only muster a 1-1 with seventh-place Burnley at the Bet365 Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Stoke made the ideal start on 11 minutes, as midfielder <strong>Badou Ndiaye<\/strong>\u2019s effort from 20 yards out took a deflection and found its way past Nick Pope in the Clarets goal. Burnley equalised just after the hour-mark, as striker <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ashley_Barnes\">Ashley Barnes<\/a><\/strong> scrambled home his sixth goal in his last eight top-flight appearances. Stoke clipped the post through Stephen Ireland, while at the other end of the field, Jack Butland produced two saves from Johann Berg Gudmundsson.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, though, it finished all square, meaning that Stoke are now four points away from safety having played a game more than the four teams above them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\"><strong>The Potters remain one of the three favourites to suffer relegation<\/strong><\/a>.

Nugent\"},\"description\":\"First off, I want to say hi and wish a warm welcome to all gambling aficionados out there! My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"City and Arsenal record wins, as Stoke and Burnley finish all square -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/city-and-arsenal-record-wins-as-stoke-and-burnley-finish-all-square\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"City and Arsenal record wins, as Stoke and Burnley finish all square -","og_description":"On Sunday afternoon, three more of the Premier League gameweek 35 fixtures took place.

When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better.
