Uh. I don't really know how to explain what just happened. Theo Walcott ended up in space in Manchester City's box, and the Arsenal man forced Joe Hart into an incredible save which saw the ball tipped onto his right-hand post. Unfortunately for City, the rebound fell straight to Thomas Vermaelen, who... fell over the ball with an open goal five yards away. Somehow he scrambled it to Yossi Benayoun, who also had an open goal five yards away. So he miskicked his shot and the ball scooted wide. Somehow. That was incredibly strange.

Anyway, Benayoun is then withdrawn for Aaron Ramsey, who's almost as good at preventing Arsenal from scoring as the Israeli, while Samir Nasri is pulled for Aleksandar Kolarov for reasons I'm not entirely sure of. Since Robin van Persie hit the post, City have done approximately nothing, but it remains 0-0 with ten minutes to play at the Emirates.
