. It just shows you can't always rely on your usual tactics to win. And City's defense is super weak right now 
. But still, they're not out of it yet! They've got a good team and will bounce back from this. Arsenal, on the other hand, are looking strong 
. I'm loving their underdog story 
. This win keeps them in the running for that top spot and gives them the momentum to keep going 
. Can't wait to see what happens next! 
This loss is actually a blessing in disguise for City, because now they'll be more focused than ever on getting back to winning ways. And for Arsenal, this win is a huge confidence booster - it shows 'em that they can hang with the big girls 
!

. Can't wait to see how City bounce back from this loss and what Arsenal do next!
Arsenal totally surprised the team with that win, I mean 13 matches without a loss is insane! Interesting how they broke that streak and now it's like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders 
. City still looks super strong though, but sometimes teams need a wake-up call you know? This loss might just be what they needed to refocus and come back stronger 
. i'm loving Arsenal's confidence boost tho 
. smith's goal was pure perfection 
, can't wait to see how City bounce back from this one 
Olivia Smith's goal was like a superpower, left City in the dust! 
They've been on fire all season and now they're back to reality... just kidding, sorta. 
. Now they'll just have to dust themselves off and get ready for their next match. Bring on the comeback! 
They've had such a dominant streak, and Arsenal just comes out of nowhere and steals the show! Olivia Smith's goal was super important, and I feel like it gave Arsenal the boost they needed to take on City. 
. And that goal from Olivia Smith right before halftime was the game-changer 
. City looked so confident, but sometimes you can't read a team's weaknesses until they're staring you in the face 
. Now I'm wondering if we've seen the best of Arsenal this season? They definitely keep their chances for the top spot alive 
but kudos to arsenal for keeping them on their toes i think this loss will actually help man city refocus and come back stronger not gonna lie was impressed by olivia smith's strike 
. seriously though, 13 matches without a loss for City? that's crazy! you'd think they'd start to get complacent or something 
.
.
! It shows that even the toughest teams can have an off day.
. Their winning streak was starting to feel like an inevitability, but you can't keep beating teams and expect them all to fold under pressure 
The question is now will City be able to bounce back from this loss and stay on top?
