Arsenal 1-3 Manchester City: Key Talking Points As Pep Guardiola’s Side Climb To The Top Of The Premier League Table

With all eyes from across the Premier League falling on north London, Manchester City laid down what was a crucial marker as they claimed a 3-1 romp against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

Making the trip to the Emirates knowing that three points would see them leapfrog the Gunners and take their spot at the top of the Premier League table, Pep Guardiola’s side opened the scoring after 24 minutes as Kevin De Bruyne swept home following Takehiro Tomiyasu’s wayward backpass.

However, while Arsenal might have entered the half-time break with parity as Bukayo Saka slotted home from the spot just three minutes before the interval, it was a night to forget for Mikel Arteta’s young squad.

Blown away in the second-half as goals from Jack Grealish and attacking talisman Erling Haaland helped the defending champions claim a deserved victory in north London, Wednesday’s hosts find themselves in the midst of a recent wobble.

Sacrificing their spot at the top of the table and now without a win from any of their last four domestic appearances, we have taken a look at the main talking points from the Emirates.
