Arsenal defender Ben White played with an injury against Manchester City, Mikel Arteta confirmed after the game.
White dropped to the bench for the trip to the Etihad Stadium with Riccardo Calafiori replacing him. The Italian scored his first goal for the club with a spectacular finish into the top corner.
However, with the Gunners 2-1 up, Leandro Trossard was sent off for two bookable offences, forcing Arteta into a change at half-time. White replaced Bukayo Saka for the second-half but was unable to keep City out as John Stones levelled late on.
After the draw, Arteta confirmed that White came on to help the team despite being injured. “He would run through a brick wall for you,” he told reporters after the game.
