Arsenal drew with Manchester City: Martinelli saved the goal in the last minutes.

Gabriel Martinelli saves Arsenal

According to The Sun: Gabriel Martinelli has once again become a hero for Arsenal, scoring an important goal that equalized the match against Manchester City.

Despite Mikel Arteta's summer expenses totaling £250 million, this is clearly not enough to make Arsenal champions rather than perennial title contenders.

Martinelli's goal came just five days after his successful performance in the Champions League match against Athletic Bilbao. Despite this, Arsenal's team is still five points behind Liverpool.

Arsenal's problems in the game against City

Manchester City employed a time-wasting and foul tactic, while Arteta made mistakes in his team selection. The advantage lay with City, as they had a world-class forward, which Arsenal lacked.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the match already in the ninth minute, scoring his 13th goal of the season.

Arteta disappointed fans with his player choices, preferring Leandro Trossard over Eberechi Eze or Martinelli, while Mikel Merino came in for the injured Martin Ødegaard.

Was this a sign of the coach's excessive caution before an important match? Nevertheless, when Arteta made changes at halftime, the game improved.

Unpredictable moments in the match

After a less than stellar first half, Arsenal significantly improved their game in the second half of the match, but City still retained control. Nevertheless, Martinelli ultimately managed to equalize.

After a corner kick, City nearly scored on the counterattack, but David Raya successfully deflected Haaland's shot.

Martinelli scored his goal with impressive precision, beating Donnarumma at a moment when Arsenal truly needed a goal. This was the first goal Donnarumma conceded in his third game for City.

Overall, the match became a vivid example of the struggle between two teams at the top of the table, where every goal can change the course of events. Arsenal still has a lot to work on, but the support and activity of their fans remain unwavering. Given the current situation, the team may still have a successful season, despite the challenges they face.
