Overview

• Erling Haaland finished a ninth-minute counterattack after a Tijjani Reijnders pass to put Manchester City ahead.
• Second-half substitute Eberechi Eze lofted an over-the-top ball for Gabriel Martinelli, who lifted a 90+3' equaliser over Gianluigi Donnarumma.
• City ceded just 32.8% possession, the lowest share recorded for a Guardiola team in a top-flight match, and spent long spells in a 5-4-1 shape.
• Pep Guardiola added defenders late and later pointed to a tight post‑Champions League turnaround as a factor in City's approach.
• The draw left Arsenal second, five points behind Liverpool, while City dropped to ninth, eight points off the top.
