Stones rescues a point for Manchester City against 10-man Arsenal

John Stones netted a stoppage-time equaliser as Manchester City snatched a dramatic draw in a thrilling clash with 10-man Arsenal.

The Gunners had looked like clinging on for victory having played the entire second half at the Etihad Stadium with 10 men after the dismissal of Leandro Trossard for a second bookable offence.

Yet after bombarding the Gunners' goal, pressure finally paid off deep into time added on as Stones pounced on a rebound to grab a draw that sent City back to the top of the Premier League.

The hosts had led early on through Erling Haaland’s 100th City goal but Arsenal hit back with a superb equaliser from Riccardo Calafiori on his full debut and Gabriel then headed them ahead.

Yet the momentum changed after Trossard kicked the ball away in frustration to incur a second yellow card and City eventually broke through to preserve a 48-game unbeaten home record in the dying seconds.

City were without playmaker Kevin De Bruyne and Arsenal lacked the influence of Martin Odegaard but this was a fiery contest far removed from last season’s tense goalless draw between the sides.

There were fireworks within seconds of kick-off as Rodri went down requiring treatment after an off-the-ball collision with Kai Havertz.

The temperature was raised further moments later as Haaland clattered into William Saliba after chasing a high ball.

He escaped a booking and City settled, going close as Ilkay Gundogan flicked past a defender only to slice wide.

The opener came as the impressive Savinho slipped Haaland through with a well-weighted ball between two defenders. It was a chance the in-form Norwegian was never likely to miss and he duly brought up his City century – from 105 appearances – with a composed finish.
