Man City Go Top of Premier League With 3-1 Win at Arsenal

Manchester City overtook Arsenal to go top of the Premier League after Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scored second-half goals to give the champions a 3-1 win in a thrilling contest at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

As reported on ESPN, Grealish capped a superb team move with a low deflected finish past the grasp of Aaron Ramsdale in the 72nd minute before Haaland converted 10 minutes later to seal the win and strike a significant blow in a battle between the Premier League’s top two.

City had opened the scoring through a brilliant finish from Kevin De Bruyne to capitalise on a defensive mishap from Takehiro Tomiyasu in the 24th minute. But Arsenal responded before half-time when Bukayo Saka calmly converted a penalty after Ederson took out Eddie Nketiah in the box.

The visitors had a second-half penalty overturned when VAR correctly ruled Haaland had been offside but City would not be denied to knock Arsenal off top spot for the first time since Nov. 6.

City now lead the standings on goal difference and while Arsenal have a game in hand they also still have to visit the Etihad Stadium in a potentially decisive clash on April 26.
