Overview
- Erling Haaland scored in the ninth minute before substitute Gabriel Martinelli chipped a stoppage-time equaliser to secure the draw.
- Mikel Arteta overhauled his approach at half-time, bringing on Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka after a flat first half with limited chances.
- Gary Neville called Arsenal a "one-trick pony," arguing rivals are neutralising their set pieces and citing 21 set-piece goals last season.
- Richard Keys said Arteta's conservative selection blunted Arsenal's threat and argued Eze should have started centrally.
- Ex-PGMOL chief Keith Hackett said acting captain Gabriel Magalhaes was too vociferous with referee Stuart Attwell, while the result left Arsenal five points behind Liverpool in second.
