Manchester City have equalised in the final minutes and that was a painful equalizer for all Arsenal fans. Football is really crazy. I commend Arsenal to hold on to the pressure of the game for a whole 45 minutes of the second half, they deserved to be applaud for that. Arsenal defenders especially their goalkeeper did a very great job to keep them ahead till the extra time of the game. Arsenal should have gone top of the table if they’d won today but the draw made Manchester City to be at the top the end of the match.
A brilliant display from the gunners. Defending an entire 45min against pep is crazy. They where so close to securing all 3 points and breaking that long term poor record against city at the etihad. There is always a second leg, so I feel they stand a better chance to winning that. Playing without their key midfielder today was really felt. I actually predicted a draw, but wasn't even expecting 2 goals each. As for trosaard's red card, well I think it was deserved, because the whistle sounded before he even attempted to kick the ball. his reflex was just too high at that moment, or maybe he didn't even hear the referee before hitting the ball. But the most disappointing thing is that, this type of rule doesn't apply to other teams/games, in the sense that, we can have a player in a game kicking a ball to delay time, but won't be shown a card. So what I feel is that the referees should be more consistent, rather than just having one team or group of teams falling victims for this. And arteta also needs to caution his players. Good job from both side.
