Arsenal couldn’t get back to winning ways against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon but they did show a bit of fight and spirit, some might even proffer ‘mental strength’.

Losing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey to injuries picked up on international duty, they also lost Laurent Koscielny at halftime. But let’s make no excuses. Our flaws were there for all to see, but thankfully City are dodgy in defence themselves.

Here’s how the game unfolded and the rollercoaster of emotions Arsenal fans were put through once again:
