Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland struck in the second half to give Manchester City a 3-1 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium
It is threatening to become a Premier League truism. Whenface Arsenal, they always win. But never in a meeting as loaded as this. City’s 11th straight victory over Arsenal in the competition carried them above their opponents on goal difference at the top of the table, although they have played an extra game. As a statement of intent about a fifth title in six years, it was red hot.
Haaland played a part in Jack Grealish’s goal for 2-1, taking a pass from Bernardo Silva after Gabriel Magalhães had given away possession and ushering in Ilkay Gündogan. Jack Grealish took over, finishing with his right foot via a slight deflection off Takehiro Tomiyasu. The symbol of City’s chutzpah? De Bruyne walking around the pitch and eye-balling the Arsenal support after his 87th-minute substitution as they threw bottles at him. City drank in a collection tonic.
The respective siege mentalities were a theme. Arteta had muttered darkly about the VAR aberration from the Brentford game, which allowed the equaliser against his team to stand, saying it had given everybody at the club “more desire to pass this hurdle they’ve put on us.”Photograph: Tom Jenkins/The GuardianPremier League
