**Manchester, England:** A dramatic stoppage-time equalizer from John Stones salvaged a point for Manchester City in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
The reigning champions started brightly, with Erling Haaland scoring his 100th goal in just 105 appearances for the club within the first ten minutes. However, the game took a turn after an injury to Rodri, which saw Arsenal equalize shortly after.
Riccardo Calafiori curled in a beautiful shot from distance to level the score. The visitors then took the lead in first-half stoppage time through Gabriel Magalhaes, who headed home a corner. The Gunners’ joy was short-lived, though, as Leandro Trossard was sent off for a second yellow card shortly after.
The second half saw a relentless barrage of attacks from City, with David Raya pulling off a series of impressive saves. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Arsenal held on until the final whistle – until Stones’ dramatic equalizer in the 98th minute, after a Jack Grealish cross bounced around the penalty area.
The draw leaves both teams with two points after their opening matches of the new season, setting the stage for an intriguing title race ahead.
