The Cityzens opened the scoring early through Erling Braut Haaland and they looked on course to score more. However, the tide changed after Riccardo Calafiori 's tremendous long-range goal.

Gabriel Magalhaes put the Gunners ahead from a trademark header from a Bukayo Saka corner, but the club suffered a huge setback with Leandro Trossard 's sending off before the break.

They almost managed to hold on for the victory with 10 men but conceded a late 98th goal through John Stones . Despite this, Arteta was delighted with the efforts from his players.

He said: "Absolutely I am proud. The way the players played in the normal conditions was excellent, it was difficult, which is why they have not lost here for fourty-something games."

With the late draw, Arsenal have dropped to fourth in the league table with 11 points, but they are only two adrift of Manchester City.
