Manchester., A 98th-minute goal from John Stones gave Manchester City a 2-2 draw against a 10-man Arsenal side in the clash between the two favourites for the Premier League title, which is still led by the ‘Citizens’ after the fifth matchday.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal played the entire second half with one man less after Leandro Trossard was sent off in added time of the first half.
In the standings, Manchester City leads the table with 13 points, ahead of Liverpool (2nd, 12 points), Aston Villa (3rd, 12 points) and Arsenal (4th, 11 points).
Manchester City quickly took the lead with a goal from Norwegian Erling Haaland (9), who scored his 100th goal in a Manchester City shirt, his tenth this season in five Premier League games.
Young signing Riccardo Calafiori, starting for the first time in the Premier League, equalised with a superb shot (22), and Brazilian Magalhães headed the ‘Gunners’ ahead after a corner by Bukayo Saka (45+1).
The joy of the ‘Citizens’ after Stones’ goal was mixed with concern over the injury of the Spanish international midfielder Rodri, who could have damaged his right knee, after stepping wrong on the grass in the 16th minute and before leaving the field of play with gestures of pain.
