A fortuitous opener from Lino Sousa and second half brace from Mika Biereth saw Arsenal cruise into a 3-1 lead as the game ticked into stoppage time.
But Brian Barry-Murphy‘s men, who knew defeat would leave our defence of the PL2 title at the mercy of second-placed West Ham, staged a phenomenal late fightback at the Emirates Stadium.
Liam Delap gave City hope when he rifled home his second of the match with an unstoppable 93rd-minute drive to halve the deficit.
But there was still time for one last twist in the capital, as PL2 top scorer James McAtee smashed an effort in at Hubert Graczyk’s near post moments later to earn the champions a share of the spoils.
