Arsenal produced a scinant effect to dismantle Manchester City 5-1 at Emirates Stadium.
The match almost immediately went to life. In just the second minute, the city Manuel Akanji was caught in the possession, allowing Kai Havertz to bounce and install the ball to Martin Odegaard.
The Arsenal captain did not make a mistake, breaking home to give his side early. Gunners thought they doubled their advantage a few minutes later when Gabriel Martinelli lobbied Stefan Ortega, but the goal was excluded due to offsids.
The city slowly settled in the game, and the pressure paid off in the 55th minute. Phil Foden combined with Savinh, whose cross found Erling Haalanda. The Norwegian striker, who was still calm most of the first half, rose above William Saliba to go home his goal of the 19th League in the season.
However, Arsenal’s answer was direct. Just 38 seconds after re -launching, Thomas Party renewed the host leadership rejected strike outside the frame that Ortega was rooted.
In the 62th minute, Declan Rice then delivered an inch permeability in Myles Lewis-Skelly. The 18-year-old showed his calmness and skill, engraved in John Stones and killed a shot in the post to score 3-1-German first goal of the Premier League.
Full time.

The city’s defense, atypically porous, was again violated in the 76th minute. Gabriel Martinelli led a glittering counterattack and set up a hadrtz, who coldly ended up next to Ortega for his ninth league goal of the season.
This goal is not only that he has sealed the result, but also served as an incentive for confidence for the German striker.
The rifles are not over yet. At the time of stop, Rice once again showed his toys of power, sending a sublime ball to the fields to replace Ethan Nwneri. The 17-year-old rose forward and fired at the side net for Arsenal’s heel, which marked his third league goal in the season.
The victory indicates Arsenal’s first occasion that scored five against the Manchester City in the Premier League since 2003 and highlights the vulnerability at Pep Guardiola’s side, who received four or more goals in the Guardiola-managed team for the fourth time this season.
For Mikel Arthte, this result testifies to the depth of his team and the effectiveness of integrating young talents such as Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri in the first team.
As the season progresses, the victory will serve as a significant reinforcement of morality in their pursuit of the title of the Premier League.
