Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has revealed the difference between Arsenal and Liverpool after Mikel Arteta s side didn t come to play on Sunday.
s side were held to a 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday as John Stones last-gasp equaliser earned the hosts a point.
Erling Haaland netted early on to give the lead, but Arsenal fired back and led 2-1 at the break thanks to goals from Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The game changed again before the interval, though. Arsenal were made to defend for their lives in the second half after Leandro Trossard was rightly sent off for two bookings after delaying the restart.
The Gunners did a great job as they frustrated Man City, who appeared to run out of ideas as the second half progressed. Despite this, they still managed to find an equaliser as the spoils were shared between the two Premier League title rivals.
