LIVE COMMENTARY

Smith Rowe breaks down the left flank to latch on to Kolasinac's throughball. He cuts a cross back towards Balogun, but the ball evades the forward in the box.

Fernandinho dispossesses Maitland-Niles and the ball falls to Aguero. He works an offload to Zinchenko on the edge of the box, but the Ukrainian scuffs his strike over the bar.
85'
WIDE!
Balogun does well to burst through two challenges and feeds Pepe on the edge of the box. The forward turns and angles a left-footed strike towards goal that sails just wide of the left post.

Foden break forward with pace through the middle of the park. Gabriel has to time his tackle to perfection to break up the attack, and does so with a fine challenge on the England man.

45+1'
Martinelli is helped to his feet and he is able to walk off to the sidelines. The forward appears to be ready to give it a go for the remainder of the half.
41'
SAVE!
Mahrez and Foden combine with Jesus to open up the Arsenal defence for the Brazilian. He only has Runarsson to beat, but the keeper spreads himself to deny the City forward from close range.

A teasing ball by Foden is headed away by Gabriel before the next move is flicked out of play. Much needed touch of the ball for Arsenal who simply haven't had it so far.
