Gabriel Martinelli broke the heart of Manchester City fans as he scored late to earn Arsenal a 1-1 draw against the Citizens in Sunday’s Premier League.
The visitor scored from a rapid counter in the ninth minute, Tijjani Reijnders breaking from deep with Haaland on his shoulder before he played the Norwegian striker in to finish coolly past David Raya.

The Gunners looked short on ideas before a double change at halftime gave them more impetus, substitute Eberechi Eze forcing a sharp save from Gianluigi Donnarumma as the hosts swarmed all over an uncharacteristically defensive City.
The Citizens had seemed to have weathered the storm until Martinelli ran onto Eze’s speculative ball over the top and produced a superb lob in the 93rd minute to give Arsenal a share of the spoils.
Arsenal moved up to second place, five points behind Liverpool, while City are languishing in ninth with just two wins from their first five league matches.
