Arsenal delivered a resounding 5-1 victory over Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, reinforcing their Premier League title ambitions with a dominant performance.


The Gunners struck early as Martin Ødegaard capitalized on a defensive lapse to fire past City’s goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega.
Although Erling Haaland leveled the score in the 55th minute with a powerful header, Arsenal responded emphatically.
Thomas Partey restored the lead with a well-placed strike before youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly added another, celebrating with Haaland’s signature pose—a playful nod to their past encounters.
Kai Havertz further widened the gap, and teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri sealed the rout with a fifth goal, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
With this emphatic win, Arsenal moves within six points of league leaders Liverpool, intensifying the title race.
Meanwhile, Manchester City faces the risk of slipping out of the top four if Chelsea secures a victory in their next match—a worrying development for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Arsenal will look to carry this momentum into their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle at St James’ Park on Wednesday, where they must overturn a 2-0 deficit to advance.
