Arsenal saw their run without a victory stretch to four games at the hands of Premier League title rivals Manchester City after the reigning champions secured a 3-1 victory at Emirates Stadium. The defeat for Mikel Arteta's men knocked them above the top of the league table for the first time this season.
Kevin De Bruyne put the visitors in front capitalising on a mistake from Takehiro Tomiyasu, but Arsenal fought back and equalised from the spot through Bukayo Saka just before half time after Ederson fouled Eddie Nketiah. City came out fighting in the second half though and re-took the lead through Jack Grealish after Gabriel Magalhaes had surrendered possession.
Erling Haaland then sealed the victory with a driven shot from close-range after receiving a pass from De Bruyne. The Gunners therefore remain on 51 points with City now joining them on that tally with a number of teams hoping to crash the title battle.
