'Very poor' - Jamie Carragher pinpoints Arsenal star at fault for Man City opener as fans fume

Arsenal's huge table-topping clash against Manchester City didn't get off to the start that the fans in the away end would have wanted. The Gunners went into the match five points clear of their rivals, but with two extra games played and off the back of three consecutive draws.

It meant that proceedings were in both teams' hands, but only a win would put it into the hands of the north London club in a very tough tie. It was a shaky start for the north London club as Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne wreaked havoc on the backline time after time.

Just seven minutes in, the home side breached the Arsenal defence as Haaland fed De Bruyne, who shifted the ball onto his right-foot and he took aim from range. It was a nightmare start for Mikel Arteta and his side, who are in need for some form, confidence and momentum before the final five games.
