Manchester City drew 2-2 against Arsenal in a tough Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium. Despite dominating possession and shots, City struggled to break down the Arsenal defense, especially after the visitors went down to 10 men. John Stones scored a late equalizer for City, salvaging a point in a game where they huffed and puffed but couldn’t find a way through. Jamie Carragher was surprised by Pep Guardiola’s decision not to change City’s formation sooner in the second half, with Arsenal defending for their lives after taking the lead through Gabriel.

The Sky Sports pundit pointed out that City’s dominance was evident, with Arsenal offering very little going forward. Despite Arsenal’s defensive set-up, Carragher questioned Guardiola’s reluctance to make changes earlier in the game. City’s breakthrough eventually came with Jack Grealish making a significant impact off the bench. While Carragher criticized Guardiola’s tactics, he acknowledged that City managed to rescue a point and move forward from a challenging match against a resilient Arsenal side.
