The siege mentality created by Pep Guardiola paid off as Manchester City increased the pressure on leaders Arsenal.
At the end of a week in which they were accused of breaching more than 100 of the Premier League's financial rules, City provided an emphatic response on the pitch.
Victory at Arsenal on Wednesday will take City top of the table and see them close an eight-point deficit in just 27 days as they seek a fifth title in six years.
