Manchester City came within minutes of a massive win at the Emirates before Gabriel Martinelli’s late goal made it 1-1 — but the big story wasn’t the scoreline, it was the rise of Nico O’Reilly. Thrown in at left-back against Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke, the 20-year-old midfielder turned defender delivered a performance that had City fans buzzing. He wasn’t dribbled past once, won 4 of his 6 duels, made 6 clearances, and looked like he’d been playing the position for years.
