Bernardo Silva accuses Arsenal of cowardice and insists 'Liverpool ALWAYS faced us head-on to win matches'... as the Man City star aims a brutal dig at their title rivals after Sunday's 2-2 draw

Manchester City star Bernardo Silva took a pointed swipe at Arsenal after Sunday's captivating 2-2 draw, criticising the title hopefuls for not facing his side 'head on' at the Etihad.

Erling Haaland gave Man City the lead in the early stages with his 10th Premier League goal of the season so far, casually slotting the ball past David Raya after breaking through the Arsenal back line, before the visitors equalised through Riccardo Calafiori's stunning swerving effort from outside the box.

Arsenal went into the break 2-1 in front thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes' second header in as many league games but were forced to defend with 10 men for the entirety of the second half after Leandro Trossard was sent off by Michael Oliver on the stroke of half time.
