Arsenal scored four second-half goals to beat Manchester City 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Captain Martin Ødegaard gave Arsenal the lead in the second minute after woeful City’s defence and although Erling Haaland equalised after the break, the hosts ran out comfortable winners to extend their unbeaten league sequence to 14.
City were level for less than a minute as Thomas Partey’s deflected effort restored Arsenal’s lead before teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly netted his first goal for the club.
Kai Havertz made sure there was no way back for Pep Guardiola’s side with a sweet finish from a counter-attack and substitute Ethan Nwaneri put the icing on the cake with a stunning curler with the last kick of the game.
Arsenal moved to 50 points from 24 games with Liverpool on 56, having played a game less. City stay a distant fourth with 41 points from 24 games.
