Rampant Manchester City thrashed Arsenal 1-3 on Wednesday to move top of the English Premier League on goal difference.
It was a game football lovers were expecting, especially as Arsenal have occupied the top spot since November.
City opened scoring on the 24th minute after a very poor defending, which allowed Kevin De Bruyne the chance to get to the edge of the box and made no mistake with a lovely finish.
Arsenal equalised on 42nd minute from the penalty spot. Bukayo Saka won the battle of wills and sent an unstoppable penalty past Ederson into the bottom left corner.
The visitors made it 1-2 on 72nd minute. Ilkay Gundogan played the ball to Jack Grealish, whose deflected shot from inside the box went past the helpless Aaron Ramsdale.
Erling Haaland wrapped up Arsenal’s defeat with the third goal. A precise cut back on the goal line from Kevin De Bruyne found Haaland right in front of goal, and he easily buried the ball into the bottom left corner.
