Arsenal continues to compete to secure the Premier League title after a 5-1 win at the Emirates against Manchester City, moving six points below league leaders Liverpool. Watch an extended version of the match highlights here:
Arsenal truly needed to put Manchester City down, knowing that that was the only way to move closer to Liverpool after the Reds defeated Bournemouth.
Arsenal capitalized on the error made by Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji when he lost possession as Martin Ødegaard successfully converted a pass from Kai Havertz into a goal. It was not until the 55th minute that Manchester City returned to equalize through a goal from Erling Haaland. Arsenal could not wait much longer before Thomas Partey made a deflected shot to beat Stefan Ortega.
Arsenal extended the win in the 62nd minute when Myles Lewis-Skelly made it 3-1 with his first goal in the senior team before Havertz redeemed an error he earlier created by finding the net to make it Arsenal’s fourth goal.
It was a night for the Gunners when teenager Ethan Nwaneri converted an assist from Declan Rice into a fine goal.
City will have to do better in subsequent matches to have an opportunity of finishing top four, while Arsenal stand a chance of going to Europe again next season, though Liverpool still have a game to go.
