Arsenal’s hopes were realised at the Vitality Stadium when Eli Junior Kroupi, a player linked with a future move to the club, opened the scoring with a superb curling effort in the first half.

City had to wait until second-half stoppage time to respond as Erling Haaland found an equaliser after seeing his effort bounce in off the post.
