Arsenal continued their hunt for the Premier League title with an impressive 5-1 victory over Manchester City on Sunday.
Martin Odegaard gave the Gunners a half-time lead, but it looked as though they might be made to pay for failing to turn their dominance into a bigger lead when Erling Haaland found a leveller.
However, Arsenal had other plans as Thomas Partey’s deflected effort instantly restoring the lead.
Two became three not long after for Mikel Arteta’s team, and they had Myles Lewis-Skelly to thank. The left-back drove forward before cutting in from the left and firing past Stefan Ortega, opening his Premier League account in style as the Gunners struck twice in the space of six second-half minutes.
