Erling Haaland praises Arsenal after scoring in Man City win

Manchester City star Erling Haaland said that Arsenal have been the best team in the Premier League so far this season following his side's 3-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

A cagey start in the opening 20 minutes was brought to an abrupt end in the 24th minute as a misplaced pass by Takehiro Tomiyasu was latched onto by Kevin De Bruyne who did excellently to then lift the ball over Aaron Ramsdale to give his side the lead. City looked as though they would go into the break in front but those hopes were dashed when Ederson conceded a penalty for a foul on Eddie Nketiah.

After a substantial wait, Bukayo Saka sent the Brazilian the wrong way to bring the Gunners level. The game's flow was stunted in the second half due to fouls but City had their advantage back through Jack Grealish in the 72nd minute.
