Premier League: Manchester City v Arsenal half time report
Man City 0 Arsenal 1
An action-packed first half between Manchester City and Arsenal at Eastlands has seen a sending off, a goal and a missed penalty.
City’s Dedryck Boyata, as last man, was given a straight red card for tripping Marouane Chamakh just five minutes in, an incident occurring after the hosts had started brightly and almost scored through David Silva.
Arsenal took advantage of their extra man with the half’s only goal, as Frenchman Samir Nasri exchanged passes with Andriy Arshavin before finishing high into the net.
Joe Hart saved a Cesc Fàbregas spot kick late in the half, and we can only hope that the second period produces more thrills and spills.
