Man City 2-2 Arsenal: Premier League draw at Etihad Stadium a ‘miracle’ despite ‘dark arts’
After Erling Haaland gave City the lead, the hosts were upset at the build-up to Riccardo Calafiori’s equaliser. Arsenal were allowed to take a quick free-kick by referee Oliver as Walker was returning to his position after being summoned for a chat along with opposite number Bukayo Saka.
Manager Pep Guardiola kicked his chair in the City dugout in frustration and made his feelings known to fourth official Madley both at the time and the end of the game.
And, while he acknowledged his side should have taken control of the situation by shuffling their remaining defenders across the pitch to fill the space and standing over the ball to prevent a quick free-kick, he also said in future he would tell Walker not to go to the referee if such a situation occurred and ask the official to go to him.
City earlier lost midfielder Rodri to injury 21 minutes into the game when he appeared to twist his knee while tangling with Arsenal’s Thomas Partey.
Rodri also went down following a collision with Kai Havertz in the opening seconds, but that was not deemed punishable by the video assistant referee (VAR).
“It all started in the very first second. In the first action we realised what was going to happen,” added Silva.
“We had a player injured after they sent him to the ground twice in 10 minutes. We had a goal conceded after the referee called our captain and then didn’t allow him to recover his position.
“The second goal is already their usual block to our keeper allowed by the referee. And then the referee allowed a sequence of time-wasting events.
“The thing that bothers me the most is having a lot of meetings with the FA at the beginning of each season. They tell us they will control this kind of situation and will stop them, but at the end it doesn’t have any worth. They say a lot but nothing happens.”
Asked about the difference between City’s rivalry with Arsenal to the one they shared with Liverpool during the Jurgen Klopp era, Silva continued: “I don’t know. Maybe that Liverpool have already won a Premier League, Arsenal haven’t. That Liverpool have won a Champions League, Arsenal haven’t.
“Liverpool always faced us face-to-face to try to win the games, so by this perspective the games against Arsenal haven’t been like the ones we had and have against Liverpool.”
The controversy contributed to a thrilling afternoon that will live long in the memory – but Arteta said he wished the game had not turned on refereeing decisions.
“I cannot be happy,” the Spaniard said at the end of his post-match media conference.
“I want to be involved in a game at this level that puts the game in a situation that we can enjoy and talk about it in the proper way. We’re not talking about that. It’s clear. You haven’t asked me one single tactical question.”

Sarah Storey beat Paralympic rival Heidi Gaugain to win gold in the women’s C4-C5 individual time trial at the 2024 Para-cycling Road World Championships in Switzerland.
Storey, 46, completed the 29.9km course in 45 minutes 25 seconds to finish one minute 36 seconds ahead of France’s Gaugain and win her 38th Para world title.
It was a successful title defence for Storey, who won this event in Glasgow last year.
“To hit out the way I did, I was really chuffed. The course was so much fun,” Storey told BBC Sport.
“It was great and I was really glad I had the legs to put in the performance as well.”
In the women’s B individual time trial, Ireland’s Katie-George Dunlevy, alongside pilot Linda Kelly, were victorious. They finished in a time of 43:14.
It was a British second and third, with Sophie Unwin, alongside pilot Jenny Holl, placing second and Lora Fachie, with pilot Corrine Hall, third.

Harry Kane celebrates Bayern Munich win at Oktoberfest, Conor Gallagher scores for Atletico Madrid, Roma fans protest
Bayern Munich maintained their flawless start in the Bundesliga with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen.
Harry Kane scored just the one goal, but it was a significant one. Kane’s strike made him the top scoring English player in the history of the Bundesliga.
The England captain’s goal moved him above Jadon Sancho, who scored 40 Bundesliga goals for Borussia Dortmund.
However, it was the performance of Michael Olise – who scored twice against Bremen – which got the juices flowing for Bayern boss Vincent Kompany.
Olise, who joined Bayern in a £50m deal from Crystal Palace, has been in scintillating form with five goals in his past three games in all competitions.
“Michael did very well. He’s a special talent. It’s a luxury at Bayern to have so many good players,” Kompany said after the game.
“His start at Bayern couldn’t be much better. He has to keep going this way. I haven’t got the feeling that he’s a player who feels much pressure. He just enjoys football.”
Bayern have scored 29 goals under Kompany – a new club record for the first six competitive matches of a coach since the Bundesliga was founded.
No wonder Kompany allowed Bayern’s players – including Kane, Olise and Jamal Musiala – to don their lederhosen and enjoy the first Sunday of the Oktoberfest festival.
Champions Bayer Leverkusen remain a point behind Bayern after a dramatic 4-3 victory over Wolfsburg.
Victor Boniface scored in the third minute of injury time for Leverkusen, with midfielder Granit Xhaka calling the match a “a giant wake-up call” before next Saturday’s showdown with Bayern.
“We can’t keep going with performances like that. We can’t defend so naively. Sure, we scored four but we can’t do that every weekend,” Xhaka said.
Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund were thrashed 5-1 by Stuttgart, while newly promoted Holstein Kiel got their first-ever Bundesliga point after a 2-2 draw at Bochum.
