The lad that has hit the post a few mins ago (Juan Cruz) has the absolute worst hairstyle I have ever seen

But it's amazing how far live data has come, for example to see where shots are coming from on Sofascore

For me Morgan Gibbs-White should have got a straight red, not a second yellow. He may have got the ball, but he was airborne when he went through his opponent. ie zero control. IMO I don't want that sort of tackle back.

Why wasn’t Pep sent off for dissent?

why wasn't Doku booked for kicking the ball away?

That was a fantastic defensive performance from Arsenal. Incredible concentration and organisation. City couldn't work it out. And much as I don't really rate Grealish I think he disrupted the side to side monotony.
But I still lost a stake anyway. :-(

Neutral here, agreed. City were absolutely clueless against ten men

Did not enjoy that last second equalizer either, threw everything on Arse without hedging for once 👎

Missed the very end of the game. What price did they reach?

It seems because he punted the ball back to where he thought the freekick had occured. In fact he was out by 10 yards but he didnt kick the ball directly away from the scene of the crime.
I believe the margin of error in doing that is 5 yards.
All subjective. I can see your point though. Yet another aspect of a dynamic game that needs careful thought and rule-making and application.
But it's OK we have the FA to ensure the construction and policing of all the rules. :-(

Don't remember anymore, wasn't too low I think

Lowest I had something matched was 1.12 just before the corner at 97min mark (+7 added)

They had clearly practised it in training and everybody knew what to do ... well done Arteta for thinking ahead. They conceded the goal because they didn't recover their structure quickly enough for the corner which was probably a lack of concentration fuelled by fatigue.

I don't actively trade football but I seem to observe that late minute goals are highly expected. Take this as an example 1.12 is saying Arsenal had an 89% probability of winning meaning there was an 11% probability that Man City would score. Would you normally back an 11% probability of a team scoring in a 3 minute window?

I really enjoyed the 2nd half. 2 teams properly at full pelt. Some might feel it was tedious. I was fascinated how Arsenal defended City's dominance of possession. I think you are riht, the equaliser came from fatigue but it has to be said Peps subs had the decisive impact. If I was a gunner I would be chuffed. The big issue is the Trossard red card. But that's now history.
