Gabriel Martinelli scored from the bench for the second time in five days with a fine stoppage-time lob to salvage a 1-1 draw for Arsenal against Manchester City.
City had looked on course to inflict a sobering defeat on Mikel Arteta’s players after Erling Haaland struck in the ninth minute at the Emirates before delivering an impressive rear-guard performance.
However, Martinelli came off the bench to cancel out Haaland’s strike when he latched on to Eberechi Eze’s long ball over the top before catching Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma off his line in the third minute of added time.
The draw leaves Arsenal five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, who have won all five of their games so far, with Pep Guardiola’s men eight points off the pace.
