Game turned in six minutes

-

THIS six-minute passage of play at the start of the second half turned the game on its head:

52mins 19sec Bernardo Silva is adamant he should have a penalty after going down under a challenge from Granit Xhaka. The Arsenal man is seething, accusing the City ace of diving, but VAR Jarred Gillett suggests referee Stuart

Attwell goes to the monitor.

53.58 Attwell, who has spotted a Xhaka tug he missed in real time, points to the spot. The Arsenal players are absolutely furious and there is some pushing and shoving in the penalty box.

56.13 Riyad Mahrez smashes the penalty home to make the score 1-1 before Gabriel gets booked for dissent.

57.38 Arsenal go straight up the other end and

should be in front but Gabriel Martinelli smashes wide of an open goal from 10 yards.

58.15 Seconds after that glaring miss, Arsenal’s Gabriel is shown a second yellow after taking out Gabriel Jesus. There were just 78 seconds between the Brazilian’s two cards.
