In the fifth round of the Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester City ended in a 1-1 draw. Erling Haaland scored first for Man City, but Arsenal equalized with a goal from Martinelli during stoppage time.

Man City recorded a surprisingly low possession statistic of 32.8% during the match, marking the lowest figure in Pep Guardiola’s managerial career in top leagues.

This match represented the first time in 600 top-flight games that a Guardiola team had such low ball possession. The previous low was also set by Manchester City against Arsenal in March 2023, with possession at 36.5%.
