Manchester City vs Arsenal LIVE: Result and full-time score as John Stones breaks through the Gunners’ defiant 10-man side

Manchester City and Arsenal played out a furious and dramatic 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium after John Stones equalised in the 98th minute.

City took the lead when Erling Haaland struck early in the game and the champions looked to be in complete control. But the game unraveled for Pep Guardiola’s side, first when Rodri was substituted through injury after 20 minutes and then when Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori scored a spectacular equaliser.

Gabriel then rose up and headed powerfully home to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead before half-time. But just before the break, the Gunners were reduced to ten men in unusual circumstances when Leandro Trossard first collided with City’s Bernardo Silva and then kicked the ball away in frustration.

City spent the entire second half on the attack and only scored the goal that denied ten-man Arsenal a decisive victory very, very late.

“At the start of the game, you would have expected a draw, so fair play to Arsenal.”

While Theo Walcott said: “They tore Manchester City to pieces.”

Full time: Manchester City 2:2 Arsenal

After 100 minutes of exciting and contentious action, the points will be shared between the defending champion and the team that pushed them into the final last season in a thrilling match.

The match was competitive from the start, Havertz left Rodri lying on the ground after just five seconds and tempers ran high until the final whistle.

After Leandro Trossard was sent off, Arsenal were forced to go on the defensive and almost denied a City attack, but Stones equalised in injury time and ensured the home side’s record at the Etihad was not broken.
