The match got off to a blistering start, with Manchester City taking the lead through a simple goal from Erling Haaland. However, Arsenal responded with a magnificent shot from Riccardo Calafiori and a headed goal from Gabriel Magalhaes on a corner kick, giving them a 2-1 lead at halftime.

The second half was a different story, as Arsenal's Leandro Trossard was given a second yellow card for kicking the ball away after a whistle, leaving the team to play with 10 men for the remainder of the match. Manchester City equalized through John Stones, and the game ended in a 2-2 draw.

The red card decision was widely criticized by pundits and fans alike, with many arguing that it was harsh and unnecessary. The same referee, Michael Oliver, had previously given Arsenal midfielder Mateo Kovacic a lenient treatment in a match against Manchester City last season.

The result has left Arsenal feeling frustrated and disappointed, as they were seconds away from winning the match before the controversial red card decision. The Gunners have now dropped points in two consecutive matches due to similar circumstances, leading to questions about the fairness of refereeing decisions in the Premier League.

Despite the setback, Arsenal's performance against Manchester City was impressive, with goalkeeper David Raya making several key saves to keep his team in the game. The Gunners' defense also held strong against Manchester City's attacking threats, showing that they are capable of competing with the best teams in the league.

Arsenal will look to bounce back from this disappointing result in their next match, while Manchester City will continue to push for their first win of the season. The Premier League is known for its unpredictable nature, and this match has added to the excitement and drama of the season so far.
