Gary Neville believes Arsenal and Manchester City have once again demonstrated that they are the two best teams in the country, with the Gunners coming agonisingly close to a historic win at the Etihad.
Manchester City scored a very late equalizer against Mikel Arteta’s ten men in a closely contested game, revealing a new dimension to Arsenal’s play.
The Gunners, known for their well-oiled attacking style, were forced to play the second half in an ultra-defensive mode after going down to ten men.
They remained resolute deep into added time before City found the equaliser, breaking the hearts of Gooners.
It was an unfortunate end for Arteta’s side, but they can be proud of their performance at one of the toughest grounds to visit.
Neville watched the thrilling contest at the Sky Sports studios and said afterwards via their website:
“The two best teams in the country.
“Arsenal were so, so close. In a big, big battle today. But the biggest battle is still to come.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We may have dropped two points in this game, but this is one of our best performances in a long time.
Despite their huge disadvantage, the boys deserve credit for staying in the game for so long.

The way all your players collapsed to the ground when city got the 2nd goal shows you have not got that mentality to win. You should have got the ball ran to the half way line to show your ready and try to nick the win.
I am not sure if this guy “Gary Neville”
is still a Manchester United former player. What do he want from the Gunners ‘s fans box. Can someone assist him with Manchester United’s fan base please.
Really ??
have you ever played football???
One man down for 55 minutes against the best team in the League, arguably in the world and you expect them to have the energy levels you just described???

Shut up
Wow!! That reply must have taken you some time?!?!
Lmao there was 7 minutes of stoppage time and the goal was scpored at 90+8. What time was there to score?
To be City are quite lucky they managed to score, if they hadn’t hard questions would have to be asked about why they couldn’t get a decent result against a ten men side at home.
and we lost Ode, played away for 3 concecutive games, in which we played derby and still nicked 1-0 win, down to 10 men, I think if we were 11 against 11, we would win the match. Draw with extra men at your own home is a big joke for a team with such calibre as City.
Arsenal really prove their worth against a solid city but I was pained with equaliser time. However, Kudos to the guys! They did a wonderful job in Mourinho style.
Gunners 4 life!!
