STONES' LAST-GASP EQUALISER SAVES CITY
John Stones scored a last-gasp equaliser as Manchester City rescued a 2-2 draw against 10-man Arsenal to return to the Premier League summit.
Goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes cancelled out Erling Haaland’s 100th goal in a City shirt during a frantic opening 45 minutes at the Etihad Stadium.
The Gunners had Leandro Trossard dismissed for a second bookable offence in first-half stoppage time, and the 10 men valiantly held out until the dying moments, when Stones scrambled home to rescue a point.
City went straight onto the attack and took the lead after just nine minutes, with Haaland latching onto Savinho’s neat through ball and prodding past David Raya.
However, Arsenal equalised against the run of play in the 22nd minute. Calafiori marked his full Premier League debut by arrowing a stunning 25-yard strike into the top-left corner, while Gabriel completed the turnaround when he headed home Bukayo Saka’s corner at the far post.
But the Gunners were reduced to 10 men before the break, with Trossard shown a second yellow card after he was deemed to have kicked the ball away.
City dominated the second half as they looked to capitalise on their numerical advantage, but it was not until the eighth minute of stoppage time that they found a way through the stubborn Arsenal defence, with Stones bundling home a dramatic equaliser.

GOAL!!! MANCHESTER CITY 2-2 ARSENAL (STONES)
Arsenal cannot hold on as City equalise right at the death!
Following a quickly taken corner, Kovacic's shot takes a couple of deflections and eventually drops to Stones, who manages to scramble the ball home.
The hosts have surely survived defeat by the skin of their teeth.

STOPPAGE TIME
Arsenal are doing their best to run the clock down, as Timber stays in the turf a little longer than is perhaps necessary.
The fourth official indicates at least seven additional minutes will be played.

SAVE
A dipping ball in the box is caught sweetly by Gvardiol on the volley, but Raya gets down well to block.

OVER
The pressure keeps coming and Dias tries his luck from the edge of the box, but the attempt is always rising.

CALAFIORI DOWN
Arsenal's first goalscorer is on the turf and in need of attention, which subsequently arrives from the physio.
It remains to be seen whether or not he will continue.

Guardiola turns to his bench and introduces Foden in place of Doku.

INTO THE FINAL QUARTER
Arsenal remain 2-1 to the good, but they are pinned inside their own half.
Can the Gunners protect their advantage, or will City's pressure prove too much to handle?
62'
SAVE
Everyone is a potential scorer for City at the moment as they camp out the Arsenal half.
The ball breaks kindly for Gvardiol to strike from just inside the box, but Raya is equal to it.
59'
CHANCE
Haaland outjumps Saliba to meet Walker's cross at the far post, but Raya does well to claw his header away, before Silva sends the follow-up over.
57'
WORTH A GO
Walker tries his luck again from distance with a fierce effort that stings the palms of Raya, before Arsenal clear their lines.
53'
NOT FAR OFF
Dias takes aim from range as City continue to apply the pressure.
The centre-half's ambitious effort is not too far off target in all fairness, though it is never troubling Raya.
