Manchester City's enthralling 2-2 draw with Arsenal did not lack in needle too as the rivalry between the Premier League's leading sides became spicier than ever before on Sunday.
Arsenal's rearguard effort of playing with 10 men for the entire second half, after Leandro Trossard's red card just before half-time, nearly paid off until John Stones' stoppage-time equaliser earned City a point.
And in the latest edition of It's All Kicking Off!, IAN LADYMAN and CHRIS SUTTON reflect on the Etihad encounter and in particular, the Gunners' use of the 'dark arts'.
Ladyman is quick to point out that in his belief when it was 11 vs 11 that Arsenal were the better team labelling their football as 'terrific'.
While Sutton isn't in full agreement with Ladyman, he does commend Arsenal's 'very clever' use of disrupting City's defensive setup when they had attacking corners.
