Revealed: Rodri celebrated wildly in front of Arsenal bench despite ACL injury after late Man City equaliser in fiery draw

The fall-out from Manchester City's draw with Arsenal continues after a fiery contest that saw Rodri go off injured and subsequently be ruled out for the rest of the season. Despite the seriousness of the injury, Rodri still managed to enjoy the late equaliser by John Stones at the Etihad. According toThe Athletic, the Spain star managed to "celebrate raucously in front of the Arsenal bench" despite being forced off with an injury that has required surgery.

The rivalry between the two sides appears to have ramped up several notches after the 2-2 draw at the Etihad. Stones accused Arsenal of "dirty" tactics after the match, while manager Pep Guardiola has claimed City have been provoked into a "war" by the Gunners and has hit out at Mikel Arteta after the Arsenal boss claimed he had inside information on the Cityzens.

Rodri's injury will be a huge blow to Manchester City and their hopes of claiming more silverware this season. The midfielder is unbeaten in his last 52 Premier League appearances, while City's last four defeats in the top flight have all come when Rodri has been absent.

Manchester City's first test without Rodri comes on Saturday against Newcastle at St James' Park, while Arsenal play host to Leicester later in the day.
