Fans at Emirates stadium got what they expected with this excellent match between Arsenal and Manchester City. The Citizens dominated the first half and managed to take the lead with a strike by Argentinian Sergio Aguero after 28 minutes.
After the halftime break, Arsenal came back defending their ground, scoring the tying goal after a fine finish by Jack Wilshere. But the best was yet to come; after 74 minutes, Alexis Sanchez scored the second goal for Arsenal with a magnificient volley inside the penalty box. The Gunners had everything going for them, but things changed during the last ten minutes.
On the 81 minute mark, Mathieu Debuchy came down with a very serious injury. The player went to get a ball and couldn't land on his feet properly, injuring his right leg. Just two minutes later, Martin Demichelis made the score even after heading a corner taken by Aleksandr Kolarov.
Once the game ended, several reactions could be seen on Twitter. Take a look at some of them!

2-2 in the end. Tough result given the quality of our play. Debuchy injury changed everything. On bright side, dominated top 4 side.

Arsenal's greatest fear realised. Debuchy injury looks serious. Chambers the only legitimate back-up for right-back and centre-back.
