Arsenal 5-0 Manchester City

Arsenal has revived hope in the Premier League title race after beating rivals Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday night

It is a shameful defeat that makes The Gunners take revenge against the champions

The tension between the teams was great after the 2-2 draw in September but finally Arsenal won against Pep Guardiola's men, who had won the championship in the last two seasons

Goals from youngsters Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri ensured a resounding victory for Mikel Arteta's side, after Martin Odegaard had put Arsenal ahead within two minutes

Erling Haaland equalized in the second half but Arsenal restored their advantage within 38 seconds of the restart with Thomas Partey's goal past John Stones

Lewis-Skelly added three minutes later for his first Arsenal goal, before appearing to mock Haaland by copying his style of celebration

Kai Havertz scored the fourth goal before Nwaneri came off the bench to complete the embarrassing defeat for the champions and reduce Liverpool's lead at the top of the table

Arsenal has reached 50 points in second place Liverpool at the top with 56 points
