Former Everton man Leon Osman believes Manchester City’s equaliser against Arsenal could be a key moment in this season’s Premier League title race.
Arsenal fearlessly faced City at the Etihad this afternoon, determined to secure all three points.
After coming from behind to lead 2-1, Mikel Arteta’s side gave everything as they defended with their lives after being reduced to ten men.
They were battered, injured, bruised, and outplayed at times, but Arsenal held on into added time and seemed set to record one of the most incredible results in Premier League history.
However, City scored a very late goal to equalise, sharing the points with Arteta’s side.
At the start of the game, Arsenal might have considered a draw as a point gained, but after such a stunning performance, they will feel they deserved more.
City will be relieved, and Osman believes that late goal could prove to be an important moment in the title race.
He said on the BBC:
“This could be a huge moment in how the Premier League season turns out.
“They have tried to take quick set-pieces all day long and they have caught Arsenal out.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We deserved to win that game with the way we defended resolutely for the entirety of that second half, but our players should be proud of themselves regardless of the result.

In my opinion Arsenal was purely robbed 2 points here. The ref was continually correcting wrong with wrong throughout the game. Betraying Kyle and correcting that with unfair red card to Trossard. Then allowing a goal after his optional time. Added time was 97 minutes and the goal was scored on the 98 minutes.🤷🏿
Time added for the injury to Timber which overlapped into added time.This often happens, and added time is the referees decision anyway.

I don’t agree with Osman. There will almost certainly be ups and downs to come for all the contenders.
Most fans, including me, would have settled for a point prior to kick-off. It would have been great to get all three of course, particularly as Arsenal were so close, but that’s football.
