The Gunners thrashed the Cityzens and embarrassed their number-one enemy in Haaland in doing so, running out 5-1 winners on Sunday, 2nd of January.
Arsenal exacted their revenge on Manchester City with a mightily impressive 5-1 win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners were left incensed after being denied a late victory in the reverse fixture, but came up with one hell of a performance to make up for such a grievance this time around.
Martin Odegaard put Mikel Arteta’s men ahead early on after taking advantage of some sloppy passing from the City defence as Arsenal went into the break a goal up.
However, they were pegged back by a nonchalant Erling Haaland, whose header stunned the home crowd into short-lived silence.
Alas, City were only on level terms for under two minutes, as Thomas Partey’s deflected effort saw the hosts move back in front.
Shortly after, Myles Lewis-Skelly steered home Arsenal’s third of the day to give them some breathing space, but they weren’t done there.
