The reigning champions turned on the power in the second half in the biggest game of the domestic season as Arsenal paid a heavy price for individual errors.

The Wednesday result gives the two teams a level on 51 points atop the PL table, with Manchester City edging ahead on goal difference (+36 to +26), though Arsenal have a game in hand (23 and 22 played, respectively).

Arsenal will visit Etihad Stadium for the return fixture on Wednesday, April 26, in each side’s sixth-to-final game of the Premier League season.

City, lacking spark in the opening phase, improved after the break and had a penalty of their own ruled out for offside against Erling Haaland before they showed a ruthless streak to punish Arsenal.

Gabriel lost possession to allow Bernardo Silva and Haaland to set up Jack Grealish for a deflected finish after 72 minutes before they ended Arsenal's hopes with 10 minutes left.

Inevitably, Haaland was the scorer from De Bruyne's pass to put City top on goal difference having played one game more than Arsenal.
