Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Manchester City FC and Arsenal FC is underway.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Manchester City FC and Arsenal FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 9' Erling Haaland puts Manchester City FC on the lead.
  • 14' Gabriel Magalhaes is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester City FC tonight.
  • 19' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 21' Mateo Kovacic is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rodri at the 21 minute mark.
  • 22' Magnificent from Riccardo Calafiori! That is 8 goals in 527 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 24' The referee calls foul for Ederson. He receives a card.
  • 29' It is a cagey affair so far. Manchester City FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Arsenal FC's compact 4-4-2.
  • 34' Arsenal FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 34.
  • 39' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Manchester City FC and Arsenal FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 44' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Arsenal FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ruben Dias on 45.
  • 46' The deadlock is broken! Gabriel gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Arsenal FC team. Bukayo Saka is replaced by Ben White on 46 minute.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 56' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gabriel Jesus suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Myles Lewis-Skelly on 65.
  • 70' Time for substitution for Manchester City FC. Jeremy Doku is replaced by Phil Foden.

  • 90' A moment of madness from Bernardo Silva on 90 minutes earns him a card. Manchester City FC will be frustrated.
  • 90' The Arsenal FC bench stirs into life. Jurrien Timber is withdrawn and Myles Lewis-Skelly gets his opportunity.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
