In a dramatic Premier League showdown at the Etihad Stadium, John Stones netted a stoppage-time equaliser, securing a 2-2 draw for Manchester City against a 10-man Arsenal, who had been on the verge of a crucial victory.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring just nine minutes into his 105th City appearance, beating Arsenal’s defense and slotting past David Raya following a clever assist from Savinho.

However, City’s momentum was disrupted when Rodri suffered an injury, and Arsenal quickly capitalised with a stunning left-footed equaliser from Calafiori.

Gabriel then put Arsenal ahead, heading in Bukayo Saka’s corner after overpowering Kyle Walker.

But Trossard’s second yellow card for time-wasting forced Arsenal to adopt a defensive stance, with Saka subbed off at half-time.

Despite relentless pressure, including near-misses from Haaland and Josko Gvardiol, City couldn’t find the net until the 98th minute.

A deflected strike from Mateo Kovacic fell to Stones, who fired in the dramatic equaliser, igniting the home crowd.

Meanwhile, Brighton and Nottingham Forest extended their unbeaten Premier League runs with a thrilling 2-2 draw in a fiery contest that saw three red cards.

Both teams remain undefeated alongside Manchester City and Arsenal ahead of their clash later on Sunday.
