City Had 88 Percent Possession, 28 Shots In 2nd Half Against Arsenal 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Sep 23, 2024 4:19 pm

A late equalizer from John Stones against 10-man Arsenal allowed Manchester City to share the point in a key early Premier League match on Sunday. Leandro Trossard was sent off with a red card shortly before halftime, which changed the complexion of a match that began with a goal from Erling Haaland that was soon matched by Riccardo Calafiori strike and a second from Gabriel to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead they would need to scramble to protect.

City had 88 percent of the possession in the second half and attempted 28 shots. Eighteen of the 28 shots were from outside the box and before the goal, only one had an xG above 0.1.
