Man City vs Arsenal FC Stats & Timeline- 28 shots for MCFC in second half & 88% possession!

Here is a look at the Man City vs Arsenal FC stats and timeline of key moments from their match on September 22, 2024. Arsenal lead 2-1 at the break, but lost Leandro Trossard to a red card just before the interval.

The dismissal changed the complexion of the game- Manchester City had 28 shots in the second half (Arsenal had only 1), and also had 88% of possession in that period (it was over 90% at one stage!). In the first half, City had 5 shots to Arsenal’s 4, so you can really see how Trossard’s sending off affected Arsenal’s tactics.

Arsenal’s only second half shot came through Havertz (90+7′). Interestingly neither Havertz nor defender Jurrien Timber (playing at RB) completed a single successful pass in the game despite playing the 90- it’s a record since stats for the same started to be kept by the league.

The gap between City and Liverpool at the top of the table is now just a single point.
