Manchester City equalized in the 98th minute to deny Arsenal a victory at the Etihad Stadium, preventing the Gunners from winning there for the first time since January 2015 and keeping City at the top of the Premier League table.
Despite playing the entire second half with ten men after Leandro Trossard’s red card just before halftime, Arsenal put in a remarkable performance. Erling Haaland’s 100th goal for City opened the scoring, seemingly ensuring the hosts would maintain their unbeaten start to the season. However, Arsenal responded with a stunning strike from Riccardo Calafiori, followed by a powerful header from Gabriel.
With Trossard’s dismissal putting Arsenal under immense pressure, it appeared City might struggle to find a breakthrough. Yet, just when it seemed they were out of ideas, John Stones found the net, delivering a potentially pivotal goal as the season progresses.
