Pep Guardiola praised one of the best performances from Erling Haaland in a Manchester City shirt as they beat Arsenal 3-1.
Haaland's last visit to North London saw him fail to record a shot in the box for the first time in his short career in English football as City's 1-0 defeat by Spurs in North London prompted wild overreactions about his place in the team and at the club. However, those critics will once again be silent after Haaland's 26th league goal of the campaign - the most any City player has ever scored in a single season and with 15 games still to go - helped City go top.
In addition to the goal, the Norwegian was a problem for the Arsenal defence all night. He almost won a penalty after getting on the wrong side of Gabriel and had an important role in the build-up for Jack Grealish's goal.
