Report, Result, Premier League goals

Masterful lob of the 93rd minute of the replacement Gabriel Martinelli earned Arsenal a draw against Manchester City while the Gunners moved to second place in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium.

The strike of the ninth minute clinic of Erling Haaland seemed to have sent the city’s level to points with their opponents and condemned the Gunners to their first home defeat of the season, but the late intervention of Martinelli assured the finalists of last season closed the gap on the Liverpool leaders, joining Tottenham and Bournemouth.

“What a magical finish!” ✨

In the 80th minute, Martinelli, who also scored on the bench in the 2-0 victory in the Champions League of his team on Tuesday at the club of athletics, hung on to the replacement colleague Ebechi Eze in the summit and launched a sublime to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Arsenal vs man city: martinelli objective just in time

City went ahead when the double -flying double goalscorer Haaland swam inside the box on the right, collected the passage made up of Tijjani Reijnders while the midfielder loaded backwards and found the corner furthest from the net with a rare finish for its 19th goal in its last club and its international appearances.

In an impressive exhibition of the newcomer of the city, Gianluigi Donnarumma, the first real moment of concern of the goalkeeper arrived in the first half, when the Italian international beat a shot from the interior of the box to refuse Noni Madueke, who was unhappy to be one of the two Arsenal players removed at half.

The England striker has made room alongside Mikel Merino as a manager Mikel Arteta promulgated a change of momentum, being the subject of Bukayo Saka – returning from an injury to the hamstrings – and Ebechi Eze, who was deposited on the side that started in Bilbao.

Eze tested Donnarumma after being launched by Leandro Trossard, which passed the Cityzens to a defense with five players.

Haaland pierced and would have marked again, but for the safeguard of David Raya, Eze has in a hurry the rebound against Declan Rice, who would have been relieved to see the ball fly just above the bar.

Arsenal has now won none of its last 13 championship games in which they have dragged at halftime, but their seventh draw along the way arrived in a memorable way when Martinelli showed superb control and precision to lift the ball on Donnarumma.

Pep Guardiola had seemed to lead a kiss to the fourth official Craig Pawson shortly before the equalizer, but the municipal director was much less in love with a goal which assured that the 2023/24 champions have already dropped points in three games.

“With the players we have, we do these races and get these chances.”
