Receiving a throw-in, Donnarumma hesitated too long with the ball as Havertz approached. His attempted clearance was deflected into the net as Havertz intervened.
Just 30 seconds into the second half, Arsenal had leveled the match following City’s early score.

Arsenal Aims to Preserve Title Hopes Against Man City
With the score tied at halftime, Arsenal may hold a psychological edge. Entering this match, they were six points ahead of Manchester City in the standings, although Pep Guardiola’s team has a vital game in hand.
For Mikel Arteta’s squad, the aim today is clear: avoid a loss. A draw would maintain their six-point advantage and keep their fate in their own hands as the season approaches its end.
A victory would place them in a strong position for the title; however, preventing City from narrowing the gap is the primary focus.
