Overview

• Gabriel Martinelli scored in stoppage time to cancel Erling Haaland’s early goal as Arsenal and Manchester City drew 1-1 at the Emirates.
• City played Napoli on Thursday night before traveling to London for Sunday’s match, while Arsenal had opened their Champions League campaign on Tuesday in Bilbao, giving them roughly 50 extra hours of recovery.
• Pep Guardiola said his players were “incredibly tired,” cited a four-to-five-hour journey to London, and stood by a complaint about the schedule after naming an unchanged side amid injuries.
• Captain Bernardo Silva called the setup unfair, argued players were not in comparable physical condition, and referenced Abdukodir Khusanov’s injury while saying decision-makers do not listen to players.
• Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane rejected fatigue as a reason, pointing to City’s home fixtures and squad depth, and there has been no indication of any scheduling changes from governing bodies.
