Arsenal and Manchester City were involved in a high intensity match last weekend at the Etihad Stadium.
Both the teams have gone against each other to win the Premier League title for the last two seasons but Man City have come out on top each time.
The Gunners are aiming to topple the dominance of Pep Guardiola and his team in English football but they know it will not be easy.
The match at the Etihad Stadium provided the perfect opportunity to make a statement but City snatched a draw from the jaws of defeat.
Man City took the lead through Erling Haaland but the Gunners turned it around with two goals from defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel.
Leandro Trossard was then sent off which forced the Gunners to sit back, defend, try to run down the clock but all their efforts failed when John Stones scored a late equaliser.
Man City players were upset with Arsenal’s tactics, ‘dark art’ as it is being called in the media these days.
The reaction from Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Manuel Akanji after the match is something the Arsenal players are enjoying now.
