Man City 2-2 Arsenal player ratings: Kyle Walker has a disaster as three Gunners impress.
Arsenal almost produced a second half defensive masterclass with 10 men against Manchester City but were thwarted at the death as the two sides shared the spoils at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners came from behind to lead the clash courtesy of a Riccardo Calafiori strike and a Gabriel header ahead of the interval after goal machine Erling Haaland had opened the scoring for the hosts early on. But John Stones clinched a point for the hosts in the 98th minute. And the centre-back’s goal left players raging after the managers’ emotions had already boiled over.
Leandro Trossard was handed his marching orders following a second yellow card in stoppage time at the end of the first half after kicking the ball away.
Mikel Arteta’s men were then denited the chance to leapfrog City at the top of the top of the Premier League table, despite repelling a barrage of attacks from the Citizens in the second period.
And Express Sport takes a look at five talking points from the showdown in the north west.
