    Haaland knows as soon as he scores that Pep will sub him off. But if he waits until the 95th minute... Very smart Haaland!

    You'd never know that Arsenal have been top of the table for most of the season, they've been dominant in most games but they've been schooled tonight.

    Arsenal had no answer. City have done to Arsenal what they do to everyone who comes to the Etihad.

    As an Arsenal fan, if you'd offered me a title fight (with an almost guaranteed 2nd place) at this stage of the season back in August, I'd have snapped your hand off!

    Meanwhile...

    Sheffield United have been promoted back to the Premier League.

    The Blades are up with three games to spare after beating West Brom 2-0 in the Championship.

    Incredible player. He's taken his Alice band out, let his hair down and made some good runs.

    He makes it look so easy. It's a pleasure to watch him play. I'm lost for words now, he's outstanding.

    For a second, it looks like things are going to end uglier than is necessary. Ben White has said something, Erling Haaland has taken offence. Thankfully, there are enough sensible heads to stop it boiling over.

    It's a young Arsenal squad and the first time they've been down this road to challenge for the title. They will learn and they will get better but who is going to stop this City team.

    Erling Haaland

    Locks flowing, Erling Haaland completes a fine night for Manchester City with his 49th goal of a remarkable personal season.

    Arsenal try to play out but lose the ball. Phil Foden pokes the ball to the Norwegian and he squeezes a shot under Aaron Ramsdale.

    A minute remains. Erling Haaland has lost his hair band so he's going to play this out looking like Thor.

    City have eaten up half the added time with possession of the ball.

    Five added minutes. Let's be honest, Arsenal need to score three in that time.

    With city playing at this level it's difficult to see what sort of strategy can beat them. Although there is Real Madrid in 2 weeks....

    Mark from Huddersfield

    This defeat hurts as an Arsenal fan but the simple reality is Man City are the best team in this league and we're a distant second. Can only hope the young squad leans from this experience.

    Man City 3-1 Arsenal

    Thomas Partey has been involved in some shenanigans tonight. He grapples with Erling Haaland and drags him to the ground, but the referee makes it very clear that the Arsenal man will not be getting a second yellow.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:50 British Summer Time 26 April 2023

    Man City 3-1 Arsenal

    Rodri commits a foul and then kicks the ball away to earn a needless yellow card.

    Tell you what, if Arsenal get another quickly, the home fans will get very twitchy in here.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:49 British Summer Time 26 April 2023

    Jack Grealish off, Phil Foden on.

    As subs go, that's not bad.

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    To be fair to Arsenal, they've kept the ball for periods but they haven't done much with it. They have looked quite stagnant at times.

    I have to pick out Jack Grealish tonight, he's been outstanding. Pep Guardiola has taken his time to teach him the game and we're seeing the best from him now.

    Rob Holding

    They do have something!

    The initial corner is poor but the Gunners keep pushing and Leandro Trossard sets up Rob Holding to fire in a superb effort.

    There's five minutes left. Surely not?!
