The Gunners dominated City in the opening 45 minutes and took a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to Bukayo Saka's strike. 

However, things turned on its head in a crazy two minutes.

Firstly, Bernardo Silva went down under the challenge of Granit Xhaka.

Referee Staurt Attwell said no. However, VAR said yes and a penalty was awarded. In the meantime, Gabriel was booked for scuffing up the penalty spot.

Riyad Mahrez made it 1-1.

But seconds later, Nathan Ake cleared Aymeric Laporte's back header off his own line before Gabriel Martinelli missed an open goal from the rebound.

And to make matters worse for the home side, Gabriel then picked up a second yellow card and was sent off for a foul on Gabriel Jesus.

The craziest two minutes in Premier League history?
