At Emirates Stadium, Arsenal and Manchester City played to a 1-1 draw in an exciting Premier League match. Gabriel Martinelli scored a crucial goal in injury time to secure a vital point for Arsenal, while Erling Haaland had given City an early lead with a goal in the ninth minute.
Arsenal started strongly against their title rivals, dominating possession with 67.5% in the first half and putting constant pressure on City’s defense with accurate passes. However, City took the lead early. Haaland passed to Tijjani Render, who returned the ball to him, allowing Haaland to easily score past goalkeeper David Raya. This marked Haaland’s sixth league goal this season.
Arsenal fought hard to equalize, but struggled to break through City’s defense. A shot from Muddyuke was expertly saved by Donnarumma in the first half.
At the start of the second half, both teams made changes. Arsenal pressed forward, testing Donnarumma through Isese and Subimendi, but City’s defense remained solid.
City aimed to control the game by adjusting their midfield, bringing on Nico Gonzales for Haaland and later adding more defensive players. However, Arsenal responded by bringing on Martinelli and Nvanery, boosting their attack.
Just when it seemed City would secure the win, Arsenal found relief with an equalizing goal in the third minute of injury time. Martinelli received a beautiful long ball from Eberechi Eze and cleverly got past the advancing goalkeeper Donnarumma to score.
