The turning point in the game came in the additional minutes after Leandro Trossard was shown a second yellow card and sent off for kicking the ball away.

According to WhoScored, Michael Oliver has sent off an Arsenal player seven times, more than any other team. Regardless, it took a late goal to break Arsenal as they produced a defensive masterclass.

Oliseh predicts PL title race

Former Super Eagles captain Oliseh weighed in on the Premier League title race after watching Arsenal take Manchester City to the length at the Etihad Stadium.

"Arsenal totally deserved victory over Man City. This doubtful red card saved Man. City some thrashing from a well-organised Arsenal side, in my opinion. Compact, direct playing with a world-class goalkeeper. Arsenal could be champions this year!” he wrote on his official X account.

The Gunners have been runners-up behind City in the last two seasons, producing better seasons year in and year out, and they could be third-time lucky this season and win their first title in 21 years.
