Stones rescues point for City, 4 sent off on entertaining EPL Sunday, Verstappen quit threat
Premier League title race looks like it could go down to the wire again, while the Chicago White Sox are among worst teams in MLB history
Things we didn’t get to today include, the Minnesota Vikings staying unbeaten in the NFL, Olympic champions Remco Evenepoel and Grace Brown claiming world time trial titles, the death of former Ryder Cup captain Brian Huggett and Carlos Alcaraz winning the Laver Cup for Team Europe.
All of which should tell you that it’s been another packed weekend of sport around the world, and with a finite amount of space, those just didn’t make the cut.
Battle of the big boys
Where do you start with this one? Erling Haaland’s 100th goal in 105 appearances, Arsenal ending another game with 10 men, a Manchester City equaliser in the eighth minute of stoppage time, Rodri’s injury, or the fact Pep Guardiola’s side have not lost at home since November 2022.
Safe to say the English Premier League game of the weekend more than lived up to expectations, and the 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium hints at a title race that could go the distance once more.
“Still we have this passion, this fire inside ourselves,” Guardiola said after John Stones rescued a point, which put City top, a point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa, and two clear of Arsenal.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said it was “unbelievable what we have done”, but added that his players were “really gutted” after seeing victory snatched away so late.
Trossard sees red
An incensed Arteta would not be drawn on his feelings regarding the dismissal of Leandro Trossard in first-half stoppage time.
