Just when the Manchester City players were preparing to launch a furious attack in the final 10 minutes, to kick Arsenal into the abyss, a wave of intense fatigue suddenly washed over everyone.
On the flank, Sterling's forward runs began to slow down, and after a sprint, he couldn't help but bend over, resting his hands on his knees, panting for breath.
Toure's stamina had reached its limit.
His focus was somewhat blurred, and in a simple aerial duel, he even completely missed the ball!
Kolarov on the left flank was clearly worn out.
In the 83rd minute, after Tang Long delivered a through pass, Kolarov, unmarked on the flank, sent a cross flying into the stands, drawing jeers from the Arsenal fans in the stands.
And Tang Long was feeling the fatigue as well!
His heart was pounding intensely, even standing still he could clearly feel the pounding sound in his chest.
This was the effect of a bad night's sleep.
