Kepa Arrizabalaga's error led to Nico O'Reilly's opener, highlighting concerns over Mikel Arteta's selection choices. Ben White struggled against Doku, while Wiliam Saliba managed to challenge Haaland effectively. Gabriel Magalhaes made a surprising mistake but had a crucial block. Piero Hincapie was taken off after a poor performance, and Martin Zubimendi contributed little in midfield. Declan Rice was ineffective, and Bukayo Saka lost O'Reilly for a goal. Kai Havertz missed a key chance, and Leandro Trossard also disappointed. Manchester City's James Trafford made vital saves, while Matheus Nunes contributed effectively in attack.
