Overview

• Erling Haaland put City ahead early before Gabriel Martinelli levelled in stoppage time for a 1-1 draw in North London.
• The result leaves Liverpool five points clear after their derby win and dropped points for both chasers.
• Pep Guardiola said his side were "incredibly tired," while captain Bernardo Silva argued Arsenal had five days' rest to City’s two and a half.
• City adopted a rare low-possession, deep-block approach, finishing with about 32.8% of the ball in what reports say is a Guardiola-era low.
• Pundits questioned Mikel Arteta’s caution and halftime selections, and Arteta confirmed Noni Madueke had an early issue that forced his withdrawal; Shay Given also criticised Gianluigi Donnarumma on the equaliser.
