Manchester City winger Jack Grealish appeared to be shocked after discovering that the Blues had a mere 36 per cent possession during the victory over Arsenal.
The game was initially cagey at the Emirates Stadium but sprung into life in the 24th minute when Kevin De Bruyne pounced on a defensive mistake to lob Aaron Ramsdale for the opener. Arsenal were level just before the break as Bukayo Saka converted a penalty won by Eddie Nketiah.
Grealish restored the Blues' lead on the 72nd minute coolly slotting home past Ramsdale with the aid of a deflection. The game was effectively over ten minutes later when Erling Haaland converted a De Bruyne cross to send City back to the top of the Premier League.
