    William: All that tiki taka rubbish out from Arsenal defence was failing every time. It was bound to go wrong.

    Franc: It's the hope that kills.

    Arsenal 1-3 Man City

    There's simply too far still to go this season for any panicking at Arsenal.

    They still have a game in hand with which to reclaim top spot.

    The overwhelming feeling, though, will be that momentum has swung against them.

    Arsenal 1-3 Man City

    Kevin de Bruyne has assisted his 12th goal this season, more than any other player in the Premier League.

    Erling Haaland has 26 goals this league season. Nobody is close to him. His finish here was a fine one - left foot to right and in.

    Game set match.

    That's why they're champions - they've flexed their muscles in the second half they've been excellent.

    They've been devastating in the final third, it's a well-worked goal.

    What feet from Erling Haaland, not an easy one to take but a quick touch with his left foot and goes across Aaron Ramsdale into the far side netting.

    Wonderful finish, top quality centre forward play.

    Mikel Arteta sends on Fabio Vieira for Granit Xhaka. Ben White is also on, for Takehiro Tomiyasu.

    It will take something special to snatch a point now, though.

    Erling Haaland

    GAME OVER!

    The big man gets his goal, slamming home from close range after fine work from Ilkay Gundogan and then Kevin de Bruyne.

    The striker found is space and had time to sweep in.

    It is no less than what City deserve for this second-half showing.

    It would massive if Arsenal can salvage even a point from this game now.

    The psychological boost of coming from behind twice to preserve their place at the top of the table would be something to really propel them on in the rest of this campaign.

    As it stands, though, this would be a very damaging loss.

    Huge, huge penalty shots from the home fans and players!

    Leandro Trossard goes down in the box as Kyle Walker comes in to challenge. The Belgian has made too much of any contact, though. There is no foul there and Anthony Taylor correctly waves play to carry on.

    Rezaa: Arsenal players basically ticking Man City the 3 points with stupid, unnecessary and obvious mistakes.

    Matty: We used to make these errors all the time and it seemed like they had been shaken out our system. Turns out we were holding onto them so we could make two in our biggest Premier League match in a decade.

    Ben Rogers: Another Arsenal mistake punished. City in the driving seat now

    Jack Grealish almost tore his shirt off in celebration!

    You can tell how much it means to him. It's just his third goal of the season but it comes in the biggest game of the season. Might it be the winner for Manchester City?

    The strike wasn’t the cleanest, a slight deflection past Aaron Ramsdale. The knee slide… 10 out of 10.

    Arsenal 1-2 Man City

    City have done a bit of a job on Arsenal this half. They were second-best for much of the first 45 minutes but have strangled the Gunners after the break, giving them barely any time to think on the ball.

    Jack Grealish departs, currently as the match-winner.

    Phil Foden replaces him.

    Leandro Trossard comes on for Gabriel Martinelli for Arsenal. The Belgian scored at the weekend after coming on. Can he do it again?

    I think Aaron Ramsdale saves that without the deflection, the deflection has done for him.

    But, Arsenal have got two decisions badly wrong and it's cost them two goals.

    Hit it!

    Granit Xhaka is found near the edge of the City box. He has a man over to pass to but time to shoot himself. In the end he does neither, dwelling long enough to let Manuel Akanji stick out a boot and send the ball away from danger.

    That was superb play. As soon as Manchester City got possession, it was lovely threaded how they through - how many times have we seem Haaland run through there? Instead he lays it off. What a ball from Bernardo Silva into Haaland, and wonderful finish from Jack Grealish.

    Pep's celebration says it all - two fists clenched, the air around him taking a battering.

    His side are top of the league again.

    Another mistake from Arsenal and Manchester City expose them!

    Gabriel sloppy in possession and Erling Haaland could've gone himself but he fed the ball to Ilkay Gundogan who was so in tune of where Jack Grealish was, a powerful right footed finish into the bottom corner.

    City in the second half have been the better team.

    And there it is!

    City make a moment count, taking advantage of a sloppy Gabriel pass to send Erking Haaland in. The striker finds Ilkay Gundogan to his right, who sets up Jack Grealish for the final finish.

    His low effort finds the box via a deflection off the unfortunate Takehiro Tomiyasu.
