Pep Guardiola secret weapon 'delivers Arsenal message' in Man City Premier League title move

Chelsea favourite Arjen Robben was spotted in the Manchester City dressing room after their emphatic 5-1 victory over Wolves at the Etihad. The Dutchman, who played under Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, was invited by his former boss to meet the squad following the final whistle.

This came after Arsenal had earlier defeated Bournemouth, prompting City to respond with a resounding win that saw Erling Haaland net four times. The victory moved the champions within a point of the Gunners, with a game still in hand.

Robben, who has previously praised Guardiola's relentless pursuit of perfection, reportedly congratulated the players and encouraged them to maintain the pressure on the league leaders.

The Etihad Stadium wasn't the only footballing venue that Robben graced on his visit to the UK though. On Sunday, pictures on social media emerged of him in the players' area at Anfield, alongside former Bayern team-mate Thiago Alcantara.

Again, the 2013 Champions League winner was able to watch a six-goal encounter, with Liverpool beating Tottenham 4-2. Both matches would have been appreciated by Robben, who as a player was renowned for captivating fans with his attacking play, reports the Express.

Robben was signed for Chelsea by Jose Mourinho after he arrived at the club in 2004. After a scintillating star at Stanford Bridge, his three-season stay was tainted by injury problems, although he did play a prominent role in the club winning back-to-back league titles.
