Erling Haaland scored the
equalizer to give Manchester City a response after the interval. Nevertheless,
Pep Guardiola's team lost the game quite fast. Less than a minute later, Thomas
Partey's shot deceived City's goalie Ederson, giving Arsenal the lead again.
Arsenal gained complete control of the game after that. Myles Lewis-Skelly, a teenage sensation, scored the team's first goal, adding another memorable moment to an already unforgettable evening. Kai Havertz then smoothly finished a counterattack to make it 4-1, guaranteeing the visitors would have no way back.
Ethan Nwaneri, who came on as a substitute, made a huge impact as the game wrapped up, scoring a brilliant goal with the final kick to seal a dominant 5-1 win for Arsenal. With this victory, they’ve now won 14 league games in a row, which is an impressive streak.
Arsenal is six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand, and is well within the title fight with 50 points from 24 games. With 41 points from the same number of games, Manchester City is still in fourth place and will have a difficult time defending their title.
