    Feel like I’m watching Barca vs. Chelsea from 2012.

    Really well organised defence from Arsenal here.

    Outrageous time wasting from Arsenal here.

    Why the ref is stopping play is beyond me.

    7 minutes and a few more now.

    Timber lying down now. Silva booked for complaining.

    Well if it works, why not? Also, down to 10 against supposedly the best team in the land and they've managed to reduce them to pathetic shots from 30 yards. They deserve a lot of credit today.

    Thats disgusting. Arsenal defended well but you can't let City have 90% of the ball for 45 minutes and expect them not to score.

    Ref did Arsenal a massive favour at the end by not playing the extra 2 minutes he was supposed to. (Given VAR said there would be 99 and the goal was scored after 97).

    Fair result !

    Gutted for Arsenal. They put on some defensive masterclass for 99% of the second half

    How can Var tell the referee to play to 99 minutes. Does the referee not control the time in his watch?

    Beforehand maybe but throwing away two points at the end will be hard to swallow.

    Credit to Arsenal, unlike last season they actually came to win today and very nearly did.

    But they’re competing against an extra one or two percent that can only be bought, not earned.

    Pleasantly surprised at the entertainment factor of that game. Thought it would be the opposite before hand.

    Shame Sky didn't show when the benches kicked off at each other though!

    This game might feel like a loss for Arsenal and a win for City given how it ended.

    I was going to ask this also, Do VAR get involved in timekeeping…and if they do then why did the ref decide to blow early!!

    My understanding is that the ref informs all his team, and VAR then informed the commentators

    Brilliant point. City having the home game midweek and the extra day rest before this home game and the referee against them *and hoping for a game and a nice weekend in Abu Dhabi refereeing) and the extra extra time. All in all a great point.

    It is pantomime for the most part, but I think he makes a valid point about City being poor with the ball a little more than heroic Arsenal defending.

    It is a shame Arsenal couldn't hold on but it was a well-earned point and one they should be happy with.

    Keane is there for soundbites and clicks. His "it's a man's game" style analysis can only go so far.

    Keane not really wrong where his point is city weren’t very good in the second half. Seemed to really miss De Bruyne’s creativity. It really looked like they didn’t have any ideas against all out defence.

    There was a reason why City weren’t very good.


    You don’t go from being the best team one week to not being very good without a reason.

    Arsenal supporters shouldn't be too down, that was exceptional defending for 45 minutes and Raya was outstanding. That's a proper cohesive team they have going. Unlucky at the last, but.. it's 1 point gained instead of 3 lost.

    City don't look to convicing.

    Sounds like Stones has a lot to say about dark arts, dirty tactics, ref decisions, other teams etc

    Can the interviewer ask him about the 115 charges against his club please ? Thanks.

    Of course when it's Arsenal doing the defending it's all about how bad City were. Yawn

    Arsenal lost two players to cramp yet it’s called the dark arts.

    Crazy how City were missing De Bruyne and lost Rodri to injury, yet they can still bring on Foden and Grealish in the second half.

    It's going to be an absolute sickener when they get off with a fine for the 115.
