However, in the face of the excitement of his Manchester City teammates, Haaland did not want to offend his former club, so he just smiled slightly and did not choose to celebrate the goal with his teammates.

Seeing that Haaland really broke the goal drought today, I feel that Haaland is in good shape today.

As for the pre-match joke that he would not be allowed to score, it was naturally a joke between friends.

However, after seeing that Haaland did not celebrate the goal, the old Haaland in the VIP stands was a little unhappy,

Is this kid that much about Arsenal? No sense of belonging to Manchester City? Isn't it a good story that a father and son have faithfully played for the same club?

On the pitch, Haaland's goal can be regarded as a thing for the Arsenal players to understand,

That is, if they lose this game, then people will compare them to Haaland's current situation to prove that Haaland's decision to join Manchester City was the right one.

This is an outcome they absolutely do not want to see.

In the 14th minute, Arsenal didn't seem to be negatively affected by the goal conceded, and after getting the ball back, they still showed a sense of ease when they passed the ball in the face of Manchester City's overall attack.

It looks a bit like Manchester City's pass-and-control football,

But in fact, this is not the case, Arsenal already has a beautiful football style of play,

That's not at all the reason Arteta worked as an assistant at Manchester City.

City's sustained pressing lasted for more than a dozen minutes, and the intensity of the game was comparable to that of a Champions League match.

In the face of such a situation, the average team may have made consecutive mistakes at the back.

However, Arsenal relied on skillful passing and coordination to resist Manchester City's quick robbery.

Even if Arsenal concedes the ball at the back, it will be the first time to counter on the spot.

Like the back Thomas's interception ability is also first-class, like a mainstay.

In the 20th minute, Equation returned to the middle to receive the ball and passed the ball to Saka on the right with a diagonal stop.

This diagonal pass split the side, so that Guardiola on the sidelines couldn't help but cover his forehead.

He has seen this excellent ability to play the ball in his own Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.

When Saka received the ball, he quickly adjusted his angle and tried a powerful push.

The soccer ball flew straight to the goal like a cannonball flying close to the ground.

However, goalkeeper Eder reacted quickly and fell to the ground to save the ball firmly under him.

In the 28th minute, after Manchester City got the ball, they also relied on the overall level of passing and control to make Arsenal unable to touch the football for a while.

De Bruyne picked up the ball in the middle, watched the situation on the pitch and then crossed with his feet.

The ball was passed in a fluttering and spinning way, and it seemed like a pass and a shot.

Haaland, meanwhile, also cut forward quickly in the middle of the box.

This caught Arsenal's defenders off guard.

However, goalkeeper Leno still risked injury and used excellent judgment to make a one-handed save to keep De Bruyne's pass out of the net.

When the equation saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel itchy, as if he didn't play in the midfield, and when he saw De Bruyne's psychedelic ball, he also wanted to kick it.

In his opinion, this game is not only about winning and losing, but also a good opportunity to learn from each other.

All in all, he enjoyed the game.

Because playing against them Arsenal and a technical team like Manchester City, there is no need to worry about encountering malicious fouls.

In the 38th minute, Gundogan won the ball in midfield, dummy in succession, passed two Arsenal players, and then cleverly distributed the ball to Mahrez.

Mahrez took the ball and cut inside, shook off a defender and fired low with his feet.

The ball shot fast and tricky, straight into the corner of the goal.

Just when many fans thought that this goal would be scored,

The ball hit the outside of the post hard and bounced off the baseline.

City missed a great chance to score the second goal.

This time it almost made the whole Arsenal team break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Manchester City was still offensive, the equation hurriedly returned to the midfield to participate in organizing the pass.

The teammates must have trusted the captain and passed the ball to him as soon as possible.

Equation faced Manchester City's two defenders without fear, and used smooth croquettes at their feet to break through.

In the end, Rodri had to pull a foul to give Arsenal a set-piece in midfield.

Xhaka stood in front of the goal and deliberately faked a long ball to force City to drop back.

It wasn't until City's defence was in place that Xhaka passed the ball back to his team-mates.

This is deliberately not in a hurry to attack, and then slow down the pace of the game, and then use the tempo change to catch Manchester City off guard.

It doesn't matter if you can't play a change of pace, because Arsenal's task now is to never concede a second goal.

Whether or not we can equalize will have to wait until the midfield makes adjustments, and then blow the horn of a real attack in the second half.

Towards the end of the first half, Arsenal did not put too many players into the attack, only trying to attack.

After the equation is pulled, take out your personal ability again,

A Marseille slalom to get rid of Walker's entanglement and coldly picked the ball in front of the penalty area.

Xhaka immediately rushed to the scene,

But he's a little behind in his position.

However, he did not give up this opportunity,

Stretching out his right foot with all his might, he stabbed the football to the right side of the penalty area,

Saka came running and fired a kick into the ball.

The ball flew into the goal in an instant, driving the net.

The whole Arsenal team is about to celebrate excitedly,

However, the referee suddenly signalled for Saka to retreat for offside.

The goal was nullified.

The score remained 1-0, with Manchester City temporarily leading Arsenal.

Back in the locker room,

Arteta did not blame them for conceding in the first half, he stressed that the winner will be decided in the second half, and Manchester City are not without weaknesses, and can try to play more gaps behind Manchester City!

Manchester City also adjusted their tactics in the dressing room for the second half, and Pep Guardiola looked excited, and it was also a rare game against a team with technical flow, and he enjoyed the process of such a game

In the second half,

Yibian fights again,

The two teams continued to compete fiercely on the field,

You come and go,

There is mutual offense and defense.

In the 49th minute, after Rodri and De Bruyne successfully coordinated to receive the ball, they shook off Xhaka's menacing up-and-comm, and Rodri, who took the ball, immediately found a hole in Arsenal's defense and sent a diagonal pass to the left.

Raheem Sterling won the ball on the left flank, relied on his skills to break through the defence and cross low.

Football, straight to the goal.

There were many people in the middle of the penalty area who were fiercely scrambling for points, and Gabriel, who was the first to touch the football, accidentally kicked the football out of the goal.

At first glance, it looks like a self-posing oolong!

However, when the ball flew into the net, it hit the post and bounced back into the field.

At this time, Saliba reacted very quickly and cleared the football with one kick.

Almost conceded a second goal for Manchester City.

Despite being threatened in the goal, Arsenal did not choose to retreat because of this.

In the 56th minute, Arsenal pressed again and seemingly unhurriedly transmitted the ball to the right side.

Saka flickered down the right flank, shaking off the defender's angle.

Then he made a pass to the bottom line of the penalty area.

The equation that had been started early immediately rushed over, which formed a tacit understanding with Saka's pass.

At this moment, Manchester City's penalty area instantly became highly tense.

Dias rushed over and tried to poke the ball away from behind the equation!

Bang,

The equation was turned against others, and he was directly knocked to the ground with both hands,

This made many Arsenal's hearts jump,

However, the referee's whistle has not yet sounded, and it was considered a reasonable physical confrontation this time.

Football underneath!

However, the reaction speed of the equation is also extremely fast, and the moment the hands support the ground, they exert force violently again.

quickly finished getting up, and then put the football near the post,

Everyone didn't expect him to get up and dribble the ball again,

Dias didn't dare to block it with big moves for the first time,

The surprised goalkeeper Ederson quickly pounced and tried to block the equation from a small angle to hit the goal!

However, the equation did not hit the goal, and directly passed the football to the penalty spot.

Teammate Xhaka was leading the Manchester City players to pounce, facing the football, he directly kicked the ball,

Football hits the net! The score is 1-1!

Xhaka rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly, but he didn't forget to hug him fiercely when he saw the equation running over.

Because his passing near the baseline is the most critical,

If he hadn't messed up City's defence, Xhaka wouldn't have been able to cut in from behind and smash home into the goal.

This goal inspired Arsenal even more,

However, Manchester City naturally launched a counteroffensive unwillingly,

Putting them on a draw at home is almost the same as handing away the title to someone else.

They are now only six points clear of second-placed Manchester United.

The field became fierce again,

Sixty minutes passed the game, and there was no sign of a decline in the players' physical fitness.

69th minute,

Arsenal opted for a low post, and De Bruyne saw this and distributed the ball to Gundogan in front.

The latter took the ball and pushed forward and attempted a long-range shot.

However, the ball was blocked over the crossbar by goalkeeper Leno and flew into the stands.

When Manchester City took a corner, the equation also returned to the half-time defense,

With the corner kick coming out, this time Haaland did not reach the ball in the dense crowd,

The equation grabbed the second landing point,

Haaland immediately rushed over, wanting to grab the ball at the feet of the equation with his teammates,

This time, though, after the equation was knocked down, the referee finally blew the whistle.

"You kid, you're not polite to me at all?"

Seeing Haaland stretch out his hand in a friendly manner, after the equation stood up, he couldn't help but complain.

Haaland grinned and said: "No way, this game is so intense, I didn't notice the action."

"But don't think about scoring again today, Manchester City will never win!"

Haaland smiled and said: "Not necessarily, former captain, we can continue to compare!"

The ball belongs to Arsenal,

Manchester City kept up on the spot, forcing Arsenal's pass into the Arsenal box.

This scene looks dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose the ball.

Saliba had no choice but to kick the ball into the Manchester City half,

In the 75th minute, Manchester City got the ball and continued to organize the attack, De Bruyne received the ball in front again, saw the active running of his teammates, opened the gap in Arsenal's defense, and he volleyed.

The ball went into the far corner of the goal at great speed!

The score was 2-1.

De Bruyne, who completed the goal, immediately celebrated wildly with his teammates,

That's the top quality of a superstar.

Falling behind by one goal again, Arsenal is on the edge of the cliff, but the whole team has not given up the game yet!

In the 80th minute, Thomas instigated a counterattack with a long pass, and Saka cut and fired a low shot.

The shot was so tricky and drilly that it almost grazed the post and went out of bounds.

Saka covered his face with regret,

He missed a great chance to equalise.

Towards the end of the game, the atmosphere on the field became more and more tense.

Both sides have exhausted all means of attack, flying in the sky and uploading from the ground, they have all tried.

Pep Guardiola made two changes in quick succession, bringing Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden onto the pitch.

Arsenal's side of the bench is clearly not as plentiful as City's.

They can only do their best to fight for the last hope on their own.

Just after Manchester City's last substitution adjustment,

Just two minutes later, Arsenal had the chance to attack.

S Ronaldo lowered his head and advanced in the midfield, but suddenly sent a precise through ball,

The pre-inserted equation was found.

This feint of S Luo made everyone unexpected,

Except for one person,

That's the equation.

He took the ball and formed a single knife, calmly facing goalkeeper Ederson,

Suddenly, he kicked a volley at goal.

The football draws a wonderful arc in the air,

In the surprised eyes of the audience, the football suddenly fell into the dead corner of the goal.

Countless Manchester City fans can't imagine their eyes, in the 93rd minute of the game, Arsenal actually drew again!

In the last three minutes of stoppage time, Manchester City launched the most ferocious counterattack.

The home fans watched nervously at every change on the pitch.

Cancelo came up from the left side and got Rodri's cross.

Suddenly, he dribbled the outside of his right foot and kicked the ball into the box with a brilliant pass.

Foden had just come off the bench and was full of energy, and he was like a lion plugging in quickly.

Keep your eyes fixed on the incoming cross.

However, there is also the Arsenal defense that also locked the goal.

Foden wants to volley home,

Suddenly, Saliba leaned back to the top and took the lead to clear the ball.

In the 97th minute, Manchester City still attacked with high pressure,

Rodri received a cross from a team-mate on the edge of the box, but he didn't pass the ball again and forced his foot to hit the goal.

The football hit Gabriel and bounced off the bottom line!

Manchester City also want to take another corner,

However, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The score was 2-2.

Manchester City drew with Arsenal at home.

Haaland showed some regret, not because he didn't win the game, but because he felt that he still hadn't played a little bit

"Do you really want to win us?" Zaka asked, looking at him.

Haaland just smiled and shook hands with Xhaka and hugged him.

"Captain, do you want to change your jersey?" As he walked off the pitch, Haaland smiled and asked when he encountered the equation.

The equation was also puzzled: "Why don't you call the former captain?" I don't feel used to it."

Haaland smiled and explained: "It's all the same, you're the captain anyway."

Equation smiled, didn't bother to break his mouth, and neatly exchanged jerseys with him.
