Write-off Right On Time

Arsenal fell behind early to an Erling Haaland counter after dominating possession, then struggled to break down Manchester City's organised defence despite chances and pressure in the first half.

At halftime Mikel Arteta introduced Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, and ten minutes after coming on Eze fed Gabriel Martinelli, who produced a cheeky lob over Donnarumma to salvage a dramatic equaliser and a hard-earned point.

The draw feels like a statement of resilience from Arsenal — a memorable moment for Martinelli and Eze — as the team looks ahead to cup action and a tough league run.
