Arsenal’s performance on Sunday evening was an unbelievable display by the London side who continued to pile pressure on the visiting side and exploited City’s defence frailty throughout the match.
However, Haaland wasn’t to be denied, as he rose highest to power home a header to draw City level in the 54th minute of the second half.

Martin Odegaard had gotten Arsenal to a fast start, scoring in 103 seconds into the game from a Kai Havertz’s unselfish pass. But the real drama came in the second half after Haaland’s equaliser.
Thomas Partey scored from outside the area almost instantly, before Myles Lewis-Skelly blasted home his first senior goal.
Havertz then rounded off a fantastic counter-attack to make it 4-1.
But Arsenal wasn’t done yet because another teenager, Ethan Nwaneri, was yet to have his say. With the last kick of the game he cracked home a wonderful left-footed strike, just inside the post. It was the perfect end to a memorable afternoon at home for the Londoners.
