John Stones’ 98th-minute equalizer earned Manchester City a 2-2 draw against a 10-man Arsenal in a tense Premier League showdown on Sunday. Arsenal played the second half with one less player after Leandro Trossard was sent off but came close to inflicting City’s first home defeat since November 2022.
City took an early lead with Erling Haaland’s 100th goal for the club, but Arsenal responded with a stunning goal from Riccardo Calafiori and a powerful header from Gabriel Magalhães. Despite their defensive efforts, Arsenal was denied victory when Stones scored from a late corner.
The result allowed City to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League, sitting two points clear of Arsenal, now in fourth place.
