Arsenal secured their biggest win over Manchester City in 22 years on Sunday after thrashing Pep Guardiola’s side 5-1 at Emirates Stadium.
Martin Ødegaard opened the scoring in the second minute after Manuel Akanji was caught in possession before Erling Haaland equalised 10 minutes after the break with a towering header.
However, the Gunners’ response was emphatic.
Just 105 seconds later, the home side was back in front as Thomas Partey’s deflected strike flew past Stefan Ortega.
From there, City were unable to cope as Arsenal carved them open repeatedly.
Teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly scored his first senior career goal with a fine right-foot strike at 62 minutes before Kai Havertz added a fourth at 76 minutes.
Substitute Ethan Nwaneri completed the rout in stoppage time with a fine curling finish from outside the box.
The Gunners closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to six points, while City remain in fourth place, level on points with Newcastle United immediately below them. — James Olley
