Arsenal vs Manchester City LIVE!
Gabriel Martinelli returned with a bang as the Arsenal substitute’s deflected effort sealed a late, long-awaited victory against Premier League champions Manchester City.
Last season the Gunners pushed City in the title race, only to eventually fall just short as Pep Guardiola’s side went on to become just the second English team to win the treble.
Arsenal’s inability to win a point off City last term proved costly but things are already different this time around, with Martinelli’s deflected strike securing a last-gasp 1-0 win at an elated Emirates Stadium.
The substitute’s first-time effort in the 86th minute flew in off Nathan Ake, ending a run of 12 straight league losses in this fixture as they beat City in the Premier League for the first time since 2015.

“I’m not the man, everyone has their part in this victory. I scored but the whole team, the fans as well, it was everyone. I’m happy, the team’s happy as well.
“I tried to give my best in my recovery. Luckily it was for this game and I helped the team, I’m so happy for the team and for my fitness as well.
“It gives more confidence, we know our potential and how tough it is to beat them.”
It’s being said the kerfuffle by the tunnel (trademarking that headline, by the way) was between Erling Haaland and Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, formerly of Man City. Kyle Walker was the peacemaker.
Tottenham lead the Premier League on goals scored, level on points with Arsenal after that game.
Manchester City are two points back, then Liverpool rounding out the top four.
Some issues as Manchester City walk off the pitch, Erling Haaland and Kyle Walker taking exception to something or other before being led down the tunnel.
Didn’t see any Arsenal players nearby.
THE GUNNERS WIN IT!
Histrionics by the Man City corner flag sees Gabriel Jesus and Ederson booked. The Arsenal man kicked the ball away and his old teammate did clatter him, a bit.
