Guardiola defends tactics against 'better' Arsenal

A brilliant lob from Gabriel Martinelli in the third minute of stoppage time cancelled out Erling Haaland's early strike as Mikel Arteta became the first manager to go five consecutive league games unbeaten against his compatriot. City recorded just 32.8% possession - the lowest in a top-flight match for a team managed by Guardiola - in an uncharacteristically backs-to-the-wall display.

It was not quite enough to secure a first victory against Arsenal since April 2023 but the City manager acknowledged his players showed a different side to their game.
