The game of the season got one of the gaols of the season to lift the roof off of the Etihad Stadium, with Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne burying a chance past Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Erling Haaland turned provider on this occasion, holding off a challenge in the centre circle before playing in the Belgian.
He still had plenty to do and was surrounded by four Arsenal players, and yet De Bruyne still managed to find the angle and really put the cat amongst the pigeons in the title race.
OH Kevin De Bruyne! ?
