Arsenal delivered a statement victory in the Premier League title race, thrashing Manchester City 5-1 at the Emirates to move within six points of league leaders Liverpool.

The Gunners made an electric start, with Martin Odegaard opening the scoring just 104 seconds into the game after a defensive lapse from City’s Manuel Akanji. City responded in the 55th minute when Erling Haaland nodded in a pinpoint cross from Phil Foden, briefly leveling the contest. However, Arsenal struck back instantly, with Thomas Partey restoring their lead a minute later.

Teenage sensation Myles Lewis-Skelly made it 3-1, scoring his first goal for Arsenal in stunning fashion before mimicking Haaland’s iconic yoga-style celebration—a response to the Norwegian’s previous remarks urging Mikel Arteta to “stay humble.”

Kai Havertz extended the lead with a composed finish, and Arsenal’s academy star Ethan Nwaneri sealed the rout with a curling strike in stoppage time.

City, now 15 points adrift of the summit, struggled to contain Arsenal’s relentless pressure. Despite moments of promise—including an effort from Josko Gvardiol that was denied by David Raya—Pep Guardiola’s side found themselves overwhelmed by Arsenal’s intensity and precision.

With Liverpool maintaining their lead at the top, Arsenal’s emphatic victory keeps them firmly in the title race as they chase their first Premier League crown in 21 years.
