The defender popped up inside the box to tuck home a low effort to send Manchester City team into the next round, but Arsenal’s much-changed side more than held their own throughout at the home of the reigning Premier League champions.
In fact, the Gunners could easily have gone into half-time in front with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Leandro Trossard forcing City keeper Stefan Ortega into decent saves.
