The Premier League 2 match held on May 6th, 2023, between Arsenal U21 and Manchester City U21 ended with a resounding 3-0 victory for the visiting team.

From the data provided, the superior offensive performance of Manchester City U21 was a clear deciding factor in the match. They generated a total of 13 shots, 9 of which were on target, compared to Arsenal U21's overall 13 shots with only 6 on target. This means that around 69% of their shots tested the goalkeeper, compared to just 46% by Arsenal. Despite the fact that Manchester City had fewer corner kicks (3) compared to Arsenal U21 (5), they capitalized on their opportunities more effectively, leading to a higher conversion rate.

On the defensive side of the game, the data doesn't show much variation as both teams committed almost an equal number of fouls (Arsenal U21-4, Man City U21-5) and successful saves made by the goalkeepers at 6 each. However, Manchester City U21's ability to limit Arsenal U21 to fewer shots on target contributed to their clean sheet.

Substitutions made by both managers were the same in number (3) and didn't decisively tilt the game in anyone's favour. The lack of yellow or red cards shows a disciplined approach taken by both teams throughout the match which is quite commendable.

Manchester City U21 proved to be more clinical on the day. Arsenal U21's inefficiency in front of the goal, along with their inability to capitalize on set pieces, were key factors behind their defeat. Additionally, Arsenal was caught offside twice, showing their impatience and lack of coordination in offense compared to Manchester City U21 who was flagged only once for being offside.

In conclusion, despite having comparable access to opportunities, what set Manchester City U21 apart from Arsenal U21 was their superior ability to convert their opportunities into goals.
