The Gunners, though, equalised just before the break when Bukayo Saka scored a penalty after Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot after Ederson fouled Eddie Nketiah, in a decision which sent social media wild.

The visitors restored their lead in the second-half after Bernardo Silva pounced on a loose pass before playing a through ball to Erling Haaland.

From there, the Man City forward picked out Ilkay Gundogan, who set up Jack Grealish for their second goal.
