Brazilian comes off the bench to score in 93rd minute and cancel out Haaland’s opener in 1-1 draw
Gabriel Martinelli scored a wonderful 93rd-minute equaliser as Arsenal salvaged a 1-1 draw against Premier League rivals Manchester City at Emirates Stadium.
1 – 1Man City
FTCity looked set to leave north London with all three points as they held out for the majority of Sunday’s huge match after Erling Haaland combined with Tijjani Reijnders to score an excellent breakaway goal in the ninth minute.
Pep Guardiola’s team sat deep in an attempt to protect that lead, and even the half-time introductions of Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze failed to spark Arsenal into an immediate upturn.
But in second-half stoppage time, Eze dropped deep to loft a pass over City’s backline, and Martinelli beat Gianluigi Donnarumma with a delicate, outside-of-the-boot lob.
While Arsenal are back up to second place, they are already five points adrift of defending champions Liverpool. City, meanwhile, are three points back from the Gunners in ninth.
