The Gunners started the day at the top of the table and would be happier with the point snagged away at the Etihad Stadium. City were without both John Stones and Kyle Walker, while Mikel Arteta started former Citizen Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz led the line. The first big scoring chance fell to Nathan Ake from a corner in the 16th minute, but it went straight to David Raya. City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega was involved in a clash with Havertz as referee Anthony Taylor continued to let the game flow. Ake went off injured and was replaced by Rico Lewis.
Mateo Kovacic sent an effort just wide at the start of the second half, but Jesus could have, but Bukayo Saka’s cross was just too fast. Pep Guardiola sent on Jack Greasily and Jeremy Doku instead of Phil Foden and Kovacic. Arteta responded with his own changes, sending Thomes Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu to replace Jorginho and Jakub Kiwior.Taylor finally showed his first yellow of the game to Jesus in the 67th minute, and the Brazilian was taken off in the 72nd minute for Leandro Trossard.
