Man City land huge title race blow with emphatic 4-1 win over Arsenal - 5 talking points

Manchester City handed a devastating blow to Arsenal's hopes of winning a first Premier League title in 19 years as they dismantled the North-London side 4-1 this evening.

Goals from Kevin de Bruyne, John Stones and Erling Haaland earned City a vital victory as they cut Arsenal's lead at the top of the table to just two points, with Pep Guardiola's side still having two games in hand. City took the lead after just seven minutes when Haaland played through De Bruyne who slotted past Aaron Ramsdale.

After receiving the ball from Haaland, De Bruyne drove forward and fired past the Arsenal 'keeper from the edge of the box. Stones then headed home a De Bruyne free-kick on the edge of half-time, with a lengthy VAR check ruling him onside.
