Arsenal achieved a stunning 5-1 victory over Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, marking their most significant win against the side in over two decades. The match began with Martin Ødegaard scoring early, followed by Erling Haaland's equalizer. However, Arsenal quickly regained and extended their lead with goals from Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Kai Havertz, with Ethan Nwaneri concluding the scoring in stoppage time. The win boosts Arsenal's title challenge as they close the gap on Liverpool, while Manchester City struggles in the league standings.
"It took just two minutes for the extent to which Arsenal were motivated by Haaland's past behaviour to come to the fore. As Emirates Stadium erupted following Odegard's early opener, Gabriel Magalhães was caught on camera shouting in Haaland's face as he ran off to celebrate."
"The animosity wasn't difficult to predict. Haaland's 'stay humble' comment to Mikel Arteta at the end of September's reverse fixture has lingered in the Gunners' collective memory, along with Haaland throwing the ball at Gabriel's head after John Stones' 97th-minute equaliser that day."
