In the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Arsenal away, Haaland scored the first record, and Martineli tied the bench. Manchester City defender Ruben Dias was interviewed after the game.

He said: "Well, we took at least 1 point away from the road, of course, we were a little frustrated because we were very close to getting 3 points. Although it was not the kind of common Manchester City game in terms of possession, I feel like the team has been fully committed and everyone is trying to win the game. Everyone holds up when it needs to stick with it and keeps moving forward.

"Although the opponent has more ball rights, I think we have controlled it well and maintained stability. But in the end they scored a goal, which really frustrated us, but it was even more of an opportunity to learn. I think on the first day of last week, no one would have thought we would be doing this level in the next three games. Based on this, and the team spirit I feel right now, I think it is actually an amazing victory. ”
