They thus remain at the top of the English competition and They maintain a long unbeaten record at the Etihad with the Londoners having failed to win at this venue since 2015.
The meeting was crucial because Two of the most successful teams faced off to win a championship that in recent years has been defined by the details. . While Pep Guardiola’s side were looking to continue their perfect start and stay at the top, Mikel Arteta’s side were looking to beat the big favourites and move to the top. After four games, the Citizens came in with twelve points, while the Gunners have ten.
And as expected, the match started with everything. Erling Haaland broke the zero in the 9th minute . Savinho received in midfield and hooked with control. He allowed the Norwegian in a beautiful way, who scored with a kick. It was the Scandinavian’s own definition of Romario, who has already racked up ten goals in the current Premier League season. He averages two goals per game. Furthermore, it was his 100th goal in 105 games. Undoubtedly, beastly numbers.
The Brazilian looked very involved, actively complicating the London defence. Indeed, he provoked a foul on the edge of the area and Gundogan hit the post after an impeccable execution outside the barrier. It was another great goal.
Arsenal’s return
City looked compact, reducing spaces and pushing Arsenal beyond their goal. However, Everything changed in the 20th minute after a complicated knee injury to Rodri, in an action that caused concern. The most consistent of the Citizens had to leave the field for Kovacic.
Two minutes later, it was equal. Ricardo Calafiori, from the edge of the area, takes a shot from the inside edge which opens up and enters the side of the net. . A superb score for the left-footer.

Oliver showed him the second yellow after he bumped into Bernardo Silva and then threw the ball away, preventing it from being played quickly. . A rather severe card but adjusted to the regulations, which triggered indignation on the Gunners’ sidewalk.
The numerical superiority, logically, was preponderant. This marked the process of a complement dominated by City against a relegated Arsenal, who sought to get out of it by rapid transitions. It did not take long for the locals to attract the Londoners to their area. However, the reduction did not arrive. The Gunners, with a man less, seemed capable of resisting the attacks of a team that was unable to create clear goalscoring opportunities.
However, in the last game, a tie occurred. In the eighth minute of added time, a nerve-wracking goal came. John Stones, who had not touched the ball since coming on, grabbed a rebound in the penalty area and sparked an outcry at the Etihad. City remain unbeaten at home against Arsenal, who have not won since 2015. That’s nine years. Although, strictly speaking, the figure will be extended for at least another year, it will therefore reach the decade. Thus, Guardiola’s men climb to 13 units The Londoners, meanwhile, found themselves with 11 points, in fourth position, one behind Liverpool and Aston Villa.
