The match, overseen by Michael Oliver, was a physical affair, with 11 yellow cards issued. Leandro Trossard was sent off after receiving two yellow cards, leaving Arsenal with 10 men for 56 minutes. Arsenal adopted a low block as they tried to protect their lead, but the match turned into a scrappy encounter with fouls on both sides.Reflecting on the game, Arteta said, avoiding defeat against City, even with 10 men, was a significant step in his team’s growth.
In a 1-1 draw with Brighton, Declan Rice was dismissed after a reckless act, and in the match against City, Trossard’s sending-off led to another dropped lead.

Arsenal have shown they are prepared to go to great lengths—including pushing, diving, and tactical fouls—in pursuit of their first Premier League title since 2004.
