It was a painful and anticlimactic Wednesday night for Arsenal as they crashed to a 3-1 home defeat against Manchester City to be displaced at the top of the Premier League standings.
The Gunners fell behind to Kevin De Bruyne's early strike, with the Belgian finding the net after an error from Takehiro Tomiyasu who underhit a backpass to allow De Bruyne to run through and strike a lofted effort over Aaron Ramsdale.
Bukayo Saka levelled from the penalty spot after Eddie Nketiah was clattered into by City goalkeeper Ederson, but second half strikes from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland took the game beyond Mikel Arteta’s side. The Gunners still have a game in hand over City, but have now just taken one point from their last three league games.
