Manchester City are in pole position to win their fifth Premier League title in six years after they secured a convincing 4-1 win against a lacklustre Arsenal.From the get go, Mikel Arteta’s side, who have been so solid throughout the campaign, were under the cosh.In fact, with six minutes on the clock, Man of the Match contender Kevin De Bruyne charged towards Arsenal’s backline before firing past Aaron Ramsdale with a powerful effort.After some great hold-up play from Erling Haaland, the Belgian made no mistake from distance, handing the Citizens a deserved lead early on.
After struggling in large spells throughout that opening 45 minutes, things went from bad to worse for the visitors when City defender John Stones doubled their lead with a fine finish.Stones’ header was initially disallowed for offside but after a lengthy VAR check, the decision was overturned.Gunners supporters would have been hoping for a dramatic turn of events in the second period considering their comeback record of late.
