LONDON -- Three quick thoughts on Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinals at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
1. Arsenal delight as Manchester City fall short
This 2-1 FA Cup semifinal win over Manchester City was as uncharacteristic a performance as any during Arsene Wenger's 21 years at Arsenal.
Wenger rolled the dice by playing three centre-backs and attempted to soak up pressure from City's quicksilver forwards. In the end, after extra time, his ploy worked.
