Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard appeared to have sent the Gunners on their way, but James Justin’s deflected header and brilliant volley after the interval – supported by an inspired Mads Hermansen in goal – left the hosts rocking. However, Trossard’s volley from a corner cannoned in off Wilfred Ndidi to win it for Arsenal in the fourth minute of added time before Kai Havertz struck a fourth, moving them level with City on 14 points. Anthony Gordon celebrated his impending new contract early as he struck from the penalty spot to hold the champions at St James’ Park.
Never. Give. Up.

City began life without injured midfielder Rodri in confident fashion, but for the second time in a week had to settle for a point despite taking the lead. Cole Palmer became the first player in Premier League history to score four goals in the first half of a match during Chelsea’s 4-2 victory over Brighton at Stamford Bridge. Palmer has now scored six times in as many games, including a wonderful free-kick in the 31st minute at Stamford Bridge after a poor piece of goalkeeping allowed Georginio Rutter a seventh-minute opener for the visitors.
Palmer tapped in Nicolas Jackson’s deli.
