Stones rescues dramatic draw for Manchester City in feisty clash with Arsenal
Manchester City rescued a dramatic 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium, extending their unbeaten home Premier League run to an astonishing 33 matches.
The high-stakes encounter saw both teams exchange blows throughout the match. Erling Haaland opened the scoring for City in the 10th minute with his 100th goal for the club.
However, Arsenal responded with two goals of their own, with Riccardo Calafiori scoring a stunning curler and Gabriel heading in a corner.
City’s hopes were boosted when Leandro Trossard was sent off for Arsenal just before halftime. Despite their numerical advantage, City struggled to break down the Arsenal defence.
In the dying moments of the match, John Stones tapped in a rebound to secure a point for City.
The draw leaves City at the top of the Premier League table, while Arsenal will be disappointed to have let a lead slip. With 33 matches still to play, the title race remains wide open.
