<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Referee Stuart Atwell gave Gabriel a second yellow card for pushing back City winger Gabriel Jesus as he turned away from the defender. Gabriel&#8217;s Arsenal teammates rushed Atwell in a show of displeasure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Arsenal player had only received his first yellow card two minutes prior, when he was penalized for dissent prior to City&#8217;s Riyad Mahrez completing a penalty kick.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Arsenal got off to a good start, with Bukayo Saka scoring a well-taken goal in the 31st minute.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">However, City rallied in the second half, with Mahrez&#8217;s penalty tying the game before Gabriel&#8217;s dismissal gave them the lead.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side then dominated the final half-hour of play, with Rodri scoring the winner in the 93rd minute.</span></p>
