Kai Havertz (Arnall) almost got a red card four seconds after kickoff.

Arsenal, led by head coach Mikel Arteta, is facing Manchester City in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 23rd (Korea time).

It is a game that draws keen attention. 'Home Team' Man City have won four games in a row in their opening four games. Arsenal had three wins and one draw. It was a match between the top two teams.

A dizzying situation occurred at the same time as kickoff. The British media Mirror said the match between Manchester City and Arsenal was stopped just seconds after kick-off. It was stopped in just four seconds because of an incident involving Havertz. Havertz clashed with Man City's Rodri. Rodri grabbed her face and fell to the floor. I had to get treatment. The game was suspended for nearly two minutes. Havertz avoided punishment. The referee did not take out the red card in the beginning,' the report said. Another media outlet, Football London, added 'The incident was judged to have hit each other and no red card came out'

The game was cut off for a while because of the absurdity. Manchester City took the lead in the resumed game soon after. Elling Holan opened the scoring in the 9th minute of the first half. Holan set a milestone for Manchester City to complete their 100th goal in 105 games.

A variable has occurred. Rodri left due to an injury during the competition. Matteo Kovacic was rushed in. Arsenal didn't miss an opportunity. Ricardo Calafior scored the equalizer. Arsenal, in the mood, turned the tables with Gabriel Magalangis' score in a set-piece situation. The reversal was repeated. Arsenal were sent off in the first half due to Leandro Trossar's accumulation of warnings. The first half ended with Arsenal leading 2-1.
