Here, the PA news agency looks at how the game panned out.
9 mins: Erling Haaland scores his 100th Manchester City goal, on his 105th appearance. Savinho slips him in with a well-weighted ball between two defenders and the in-form Norwegian supplies a cool finish.
22 mins: Rodri cannot continue, having had treatment for an apparent knee injury suffered after jostling with Thomas Partey at a set-piece.
24 mins: Riccardo Calafiori produces a superb equaliser from outside the box on his full debut for Arsenal, with City left furious as Kyle Walker – who had been called by referee Michael Oliver for a chat seconds earlier – is caught out of position as the Gunners launch a quick free-kick down the left which leads to the goal. Pep Guardiola kicks his seat in anger.
45 mins: Bukayo Saka delivers a corner to the back post and Gabriel frees himself from Walker to head home from close range.
45+7 mins: Leandro Trossard is sent off for a second bookable offence. Having been booked earlier for a tug on Savinho, he is shown a second yellow card after barging into the back of Bernardo Silva and, as the whistle blew, then booting the ball away in frustration.
90 After a second half of City probing for the equaliser, Arsenal players going down with apparent cramp and David Raya producing several saves, the board signals seven minutes of stoppage time.
90+7 mins: Josko Gvardiol’s volley is saved by Raya but substitute John Stones pounces on the rebound to grab a dramatic equaliser. Haaland picks the ball out of the net and pings it at Gabriel’s head, then smashes into Partey from the restart moments later as tensions rise.
90+9: Haaland and Gabriel have a heated exchange of words and opposing players need separating.
