Riyad Mahrez backs up Erling Haaland Arsenal warning with Man City Premier League title verdict

Arsenal have been sent a serious warning by Manchester City star Erling Haaland amidst their Premier League title fight. The Norwegian striker wasted little time in picking up where he left off before the World Cup, scoring twice to help City beat Leeds 3-1 at Elland Road on Wednesday.

The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the table with a 3-1 win of their own against West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Boxing Day before City closed the gap back down to five points. Mikel Arteta will be without his star striker Gabriel Jesus until February after the Brazilian suffered a knee injury whilst away in Qatar with Brazil.

Eddie Nketiah proved he can be a capable replacement in the £45million summer signing's absence as he scored the third goal for Arsenal against the Hammers. The Gunners are set to face City for the first time this season when the two teams play each other in February after their fixture earlier this season was postponed.
