<p>An eventful contest at the Etihad Stadium saw John Stones snatch a dramatic 98th-minute equaliser for City in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Haaland had opened the scoring, with his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-cristiano-ronaldo-record-100th-goal-man-city-arsenal-premier-league/blt6e244c025fd7297f" target="_blank">100th goal for the reigning Premier League champions</a>, before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-lose-rodri-horror-injury-arsenal-midfielder-hobbles-off-distress-worrying-scenes/blt8b6c9d2dcecb19a1" target="_blank">Rodri hobbled off injured</a> and Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel turned the clash on its head.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Leandro Trossard was then sent off for the Gunners – collecting a second yellow card for kicking the ball away – and Mikel Arteta’s side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bernardo-silva-mocks-arsenal-trophy-record-slams-mikel-arteta-tactics-man-city-referee-michael-oliver-integrity/blt795fbf5aed60b4af" target="_blank">spent the entire second half desperately hanging on</a> to the slenderest of leads. Late <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/john-stones-man-city-takes-swipe-arsenal-dirty-tactics-hero-scintillating-title-race-draw/blt9d8d330b2f9e72fa" target="_blank">heartache was inflicted by Stones</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After the England international defender bundled home, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-classless-x-rated-jibe-arsenal-myles-lewis-skelly-man-city-star-called-out-disrespecting-gabriel-john-stones-equaliser/blt4535c88e0ea10b1f" target="_blank">Haaland picked the ball up and threw it against the head of Brazilian defender Gabriel</a> – who could not see what was happening as he had his shirt over his face. No action was taken at the time.</p>
