The Emirates Stadium was rocking after Gabriel Martinelli fired Arsenal to victory against defending champions Manchester City.
The Gunners, who welcomed Pep Guardiola’s Cityzens to London for a blockbuster Premier League clash, were looking to end a run of 12 domestic defeats against Sunday’s opponents.
And despite being the underdogs to take all three points, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal came out on top after an 86th-minute strike from substitute Gabriel Martinelli sealed the tie and ensured this season’s title race will once again include the red half of London.
