Leandro Trossard had a first half to remember for Arsenal on Sunday as he grabbed a hat-trick of assists. 
Against Fulham in the first 45 minutes, Trossard assisted Gabriel with Arsenal’s opener from a corner, floated in another delightful cross for Gabriel Martinelli to nod home to make it two before finding Martin Odegaard, who made it three, just before the whistle. Trossard now has five assists and one goal in nine games since joining Arsenal in January. 
He won possession six times and had three touches in the opponent’s box, while creating two big chances and providing three assists, bringing his total to five assists in the last four games.
Arsenal, who were kicked off the top of the Premier League table following a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday, February 15, will be facing Aston Villa at lunchtime today. Speaking up against the “difficult” schedule he claimed Arsenal has been subjected to, Arteta that rules for Champions League teams should be instituted. 
He said; “There are certain rules with the Champions League. When you are playing on Wednesday night and then you cannot play [on Saturday lunchtime]. So I think that should apply to any competition. But I think following the same principle, physiologically, that is very difficult to turn around on that period to get the best outcome and reduce the injury risk for players, but that’s it.” 
The charges slammed against the club came after an investigation carried out over a four-year period. The case has now been passed to an independent commission that will determine whether any further action is required. If the charges are proven to be true, then City could be deducted points or even relegated from the top flight. Speaking to reporters, Kompany who is now Burnley’s coach said he’s standing firmly by Manchester City during this difficult phase. He also lashed out at critics who are “pointing fingers”. 
He said; “I look at it and sometimes roll my eyes a little bit. No doubt there’s a lot of righteousness in the world to come and tell you what you’ve done wrong, and then if everybody looks at themselves, I think the football industry in general is not one that can afford to point the finger too many times. “I think all of you will have a little bit of a smile on your face to know what the football industry is about. I’m very sceptical when people start pointing fingers. Do the best for yourself and let’s try and improve all the time but I’m a little bit sceptical when the fingers get pointed easily.” 
The alleged breaches span a period from the 2009-10 season to the 2017-18 Premier League campaign. The charges relate to financial information regarding revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA regulations, profitability, and sustainability and cooperation on with Premier League investigations. The Premier League said in a statement; “In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today [February 6 2023] referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club (Club) to a commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4.
