Kevin De Bruyne explains how pre-planned Man City tactic outfoxed Arsenal

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has explained how a tactical tweak allowed the Premier League title challengers to brush Arsenal aside on Wednesday night.

De Bruyne scored twice in a 4-1 win which leaves City just two points behind the Gunners with two games in hand. Erling Haaland and John Stones also netted for the hosts, with Rob Holding scoring Arsenal's goal.

The result means City have beaten Arsenal three times this season - twice in the league and once during their run to the FA Cup final. After the victory, De Bruyne explained how a pre-match plan helped Pep Guardiola's team come out on top and hand the Gunners a first league defeat since February 15.
