Arsenal delivered a commanding 5-1 victory over Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, strengthening their Premier League title aspirations.
The Gunners took an early lead when Martin Ødegaard capitalized on a defensive error to slot the ball past City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. Manchester City responded in the second half, with Erling Haaland equalizing in the 55th minute through a powerful header.
However, Arsenal quickly regained control as Thomas Partey restored their lead with a precise strike. Youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly extended the advantage, celebrating with Haaland’s signature pose in a nod to their previous encounters.
Kai Havertz further widened the margin before Ethan Nwaneri sealed the dominant victory with a fifth goal, marking a memorable night for the North London club.
The emphatic win narrows Arsenal’s gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to six points, intensifying the title race. Meanwhile, Manchester City risks dropping out of the top four if Chelsea secures a victory in their upcoming fixture, marking a significant downturn in form for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Arsenal will now turn their focus to their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Wednesday, where they will look to overturn a 2-0 deficit.
