90+9' Game over. Arsenal will be happy with the win, but the injury casts a shadow over it. Guardiola can't be happy with the display his team put on.
00:31 (IST)8 AUG 2016
90+8' Bielik comes on as Gabriel is carried off the field. Play resumes.
00:30 (IST)8 AUG 2016
90+6' Everybody looks on in concern as Gabriel is still receiving treatment on the field. This is terrible news for everybody at Arsenal, who already have issues with injured players.
00:27 (IST)8 AUG 2016
90+3' Iheanacho and Gabriel are both writhing on the ground after a clash. Gabriel looks like he's seriously hurt. He might have to be stretchered off.
00:25 (IST)8 AUG 2016
90+2' City are mounting attack after attack, but it just doesn't seem to be happening for them. Too little too late, perhaps.

87' Goal for Iheanacho. A lovely ball in from Navas found its way straight to the striker's head, who calmly nodded it in. Could this be a dramatic finish?

85' Goal for Chuba Akpom. Terrible defending by City. A poor pass gave away possession in their own box, and Akpom was never going to miss from there.

73' Another goal for Arsenal. It's Theo Walcott this time. He dances past a couple of defenders, has a give and go with Sanchez and coolly places the ball in the bottom right corner.

64' Walcott takes a powerful shot on goal from the corner of the box, but Joe Hart is able to react quickly to keep it out.
23:55 (IST)7 AUG 2016
63' The game from both sides seems to be somewhat haphazard. There doesn't appear to be a clear game plan.
23:52 (IST)7 AUG 2016
59' Arsenal win a free kick in a threatening position. Within range of a direct shot. Sanchez hits a fierce shot over the wall and had Joe Hart beaten, but he was denied by the crossbar.
23:51 (IST)7 AUG 2016
58' Ramsey finds Sanchez with a good pass down the touchline. Sanchez tries to pick out Walcott in the box with his cross, but fails to do so.

50' Goal for Arsenal! Theo Walcott gets the ball to Iwobi just outside the box. He cuts in and fires low past Joe Hart. The keeper got a hand to it, but it wasn't enough to keep it out.

47' Changes at half time.Arsenal have brought on Elneny, Chambers and Walcott. Joe Hart has replaced Caballero between the sticks for City.
23:38 (IST)7 AUG 2016
45' We're back for the second half. The ref blows the whistle and Manchester City get the game underway from the centre.
23:20 (IST)7 AUG 2016
45' Half time. The ref brings an end to the first half without any added time. We go into the break with the Citizens leading by one goal, courtesy of Sergio Aguero. Both teams have had chances, but it is Arsenal who had the better ones. The Gunners seem to have more of the ball, but haven't been able to make anything of it yet. The game has been somewhat dull so far. It looks like the players are playing without any real fire and passion. Hopefully that changes in the second half.
23:15 (IST)7 AUG 2016
43' Arsenal had a chance on a good looking counter, but Bellerin gave the ball away to Clichy quite cheaply.
23:12 (IST)7 AUG 2016
40' Sterling finds Silva in the box, but the Spaniard is crowded out, and isn't able to do much with the ball.

36' Foul on Iwobi by Sterling. Free kick from a decent position. Xhaka plays the ball in, but nobody is able to get to it as it harmlessly rolls out of play.
23:07 (IST)7 AUG 2016
35' Nolito goes down in the box and half-heartedly appeals for a penalty, but the ref isn't falling for it.
23:06 (IST)7 AUG 2016
34' Corner for City. Silva plays the short pass to Nolito, who is promptly dispossessed.
23:03 (IST)7 AUG 2016
30' Goal! Sergio Aguero calmly slots the ball in from inside the box from a well placed cross by Sterling.
23:02 (IST)7 AUG 2016
29' As of now it seems to be Arsenal who have the upper hand, but Manchester City are creating half-decent chances every few minutes.
23:00 (IST)7 AUG 2016
27' Nolito plays a ball across the Arsenal box and Zabaleta gets his foot at the end of it, but the shot goes wide.
22:58 (IST)7 AUG 2016
26' Free kick to Arsenal. Ramsey makes a truly pathetic attempt at putting the ball in the box, but it goes out for a goal kick instead.
22:57 (IST)7 AUG 2016
24' City corner. Silva whips it in and the ball falls to Delph, who takes a whack at goal, but there are too many bodies in the box. It was never going through.
22:55 (IST)7 AUG 2016
22' Chamberlain takes a shot at an open goal with Caballero way off his lone, but it was cleared by a defender.
22:52 (IST)7 AUG 2016
20' Aguero makes his way into the box, weaving past a couple of defenders. Bellerin manages to get in the way of the shot, and Cech collects the ball calmly.
FULL TIME: Arsenal 3-2 Manchester City
The Gunners end pre-season with a win over Manchester City but at what cost? Sergio Aguero gave City the lead before Alex Iwobi found the equaliser just after half-time.
Arsenal then scored two goals in 12 minutes - first from Theo Walcott and another from Chuba Akpom before Kelechi Iheanacho scored at the other end.
The game ended on a sour note when Gabriel Paulista went down injured and the defender was in tears as he was stretchered off. With Per Mertesacker also out for a few months, a centre-back now becomes Arsene Wenger's biggest priority before they face Liverpool next Sunday in the first Premier League game of the season.
