Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says it is "a miracle" his side came so close to victory at Manchester City, despite claims the visitors employed "dark arts" in a dramatic draw at Etihad Stadium.
"It is a miracle we played 56 minutes at the Etihad with 10 men,” he said. “It’s unbelievable what we have done." He said he was happy to let others draw their own conclusions on Trossard’s red card. Just a week after Declan Rice served a one-match ban for getting a second yellow for kicking the ball away, Trossard, having already been booked, barged Bernardo Silva in the back and then did the same. The Premier League confirmed he was shown a second yellow for the latter offence by referee Michael Oliver.
“They slow the game down,” he said. “They get the keeper on the floor so they can get some information on to the pitch. We had to control our emotions during those tough times. “I think as a Manchester City fan or player, you are obviously frustrated. As an Arsenal manager, he is going to say well played and well managed.”City were also upset at the build-up to Riccardo Calafiori’s equaliser. Arsenal were allowed to take a quick free-kick by referee Oliver as City skipper Walker was returning to his position after being summoned for a chat along with opposite number Bukayo Saka.
