Bukayo Saka soon followed with two quick attempts from tight angles, yet Trafford again stood firm to keep the scores level.

The Gunners continued to threaten, with Leandro Trossard seeing a shot blocked and Piero Hincapié later heading over from a corner.

The opening half also saw a few disciplinary moments as Hincapié and Abdukodir Khusanov both received yellow cards from referee Peter Bankes.

City had their own chances before the break, with Jérémy Doku and Erling Haaland both going close, but neither side could find a breakthrough as the first half ended goalless.

After the restart, the tempo increased. Haaland and Havertz each had efforts blocked early in the second half, while Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was booked after rushing out of his area to foul Doku, as the BBC reported.

City gradually began to take control, creating several chances through players like Rodri, Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki.
