    Groans, moans, frustration.

    Granit Xhaka has a chance to feed in Gabriel Martinelli on the left but he whacks his pass way too hard and out of play.

    What a reaction from Aaron Ramsdale!

    Sloppy play from Oleksandr ZInchenko, it's a poor pass but look how quickly Ramsdale reacts.

    He gives Erling Haaland absolutely no space and just smothers the ball - brilliant reaction.

    Arsenal are taking some big risks at the back.

    Oleksandr Zinchenko is caught in possession on the edge of his own box, but Erling Haaland can't capitalise, failing to get a shot away before he is crowded out.

    Off the line!

    City win the first header from the free-kick, with Nathan Ake forcing a save from Aaron Ramsdale. The ball falls to Manuel Akanji, but his shot is hacked away from under the crossbar.

    This is really eventful, but I wouldn't call it a great game.

    City now have a free-kick near the edge of the Arsenal box after Jack Grealish is fouled by Bukayo Saka.

    Chance!

    Eddie Nketiah can't quite reach a whipped ball across the face of goal from Takehiro Tomiyasu.

    He may well have been offside anyway, had he steered it in.

    We've barely had any flow to the half. It has been broken every 30 seconds with fouls and irate players screaming at each other and the officials.

    When are Arteta's antics on the touchline going to get him sent off.

    Alan

    Got lots of respect for Arteta, but you would never catch Pep doing something like that.

    Arsenal 1-1 Man City

    Again the referee is surrounded. This time it is City players demanding action after a late tackle from Eddie Nketiah on Ruben Dias.

    It gets the forward a yellow card.

    What odds we end the game with 22 players on the pitch?

    Arsenal 1-1 Man City

    How often have the players charged at the referee when a decision has not gone their way?

    Jack Grealish is the latest after he is not given a corner. He gets a yellow card for it. Four City players on a caution now.

    This is a problem with VAR - it didn't need to take two or three minutes, we could see it straight away. It did not need to take that long.

    Man City take off forward Riyad Mahrez and send on defender Manuel Akanji.

    It took a while, the VAR people probably remembered to draw the lines and draw them straight.

    Clumsy from Erling Haaland. He barges, elbow first into Gabriel and sends the defender down. He's going to need some treatment.

    It's not got really nasty yet, but this is simmering and at times threatening to boil over.

    He is offside! Huge cheers from the Arsenal fans. It's just a bit of back and two heels that are off from the big forward.

    It's no penalty and Gabriel has the yellow card he received for conceding the penalty whisked away.

    He looks offside. I think this decision is going to be overturned.

    I think Gabriel gets too tight, Erling Haaland uses his body brilliantly.

    I think it might be offside the initial ball from Kyle Walker.

  19. PENALTY TO MAN CITYpublished at 56 mins

    Arsenal 1-1 Man City

    Arsenal's turn to rage about a penalty decision!

    They think Erling Haaland has a hold of Gabriel before turning him. The Arsenal defender is then dragged down in the box.

    But wait... there might be a reprieve for the Gunners! Is Haaland offside?!

    Oh, almost!

    Bukayo Saka does well to cut back from the right before finding Jorginho. His low ball into the box is just a yard or two ahead of a couple of team-mates and Ederson gathers.
