Man City 2-2 Arsenal: Watch as City escape with a point against 10-man Arsenal

Erling Haaland’s landmark 100th goal for Manchester City opened the scoring and looked like it would see the hosts maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign. But Arsenal struck back, first with a stunner from Riccardo Calafiori and then a bullet Gabriel header for the second game running.

Following the unnecessary dismissal of Trossard, Arsenal was at a complete loss, but just when it appeared that City had run out of options, John Stones wrote the headlines that might prove crucial in May.

It was the most anti-climactic start imaginable to a big game, with a bullish body to body clash between Kai Havertz and Rodri inside the opening ten seconds leaving the latter on the ground receiving treatment for well over a minute as the clock ticked on.

The first chance went the way of the hosts as Ilkay Gundogan lashed wide a volley after a majestic touch created the opening – the finish was arguably the harder skill. But Haaland's opener wasn't far behind, threaded through by Savinho's quick turn and pass. Bearing down on the goal, there was only ever going to be one outcome from the flying Norwegian.

City got off to a lightning fast start, and Gundogan promptly sent a deft free kick against the post. Things might have been very different had that strike nestled in the net instead.

While Calafiori didn't cover himself in glory for City's opener, the Italian made up for it in spectacular fashion when he fired Arsenal level, seemingly out of nowhere from the edge of the box. City were angry, though, because referee Michael Oliver beckoned Kyle Walker over just before an Arsenal free-kick and allowed the set-piece to be taken before the defender was back in position.
