Manchester City and Arsenal battled out a thrilling 2-2 draw in an action-packed Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

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.

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+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.
