Erling Haaland shoots down Arsenal as Manchester City slash lead to three points

Erling Haaland struck a vital winner as Manchester City slashed Arsenal’s Premier League lead to three points with a 2-1 victory over the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium.

The Norwegian pounced after 65 minutes of a compelling clash on Sunday, sparing Gianluigi Donnarumma’s blushes after the goalkeeper had gifted Kai Havertz an equaliser following Rayan Cherki’s opener.

It was Arsenal’s second successive defeat and City, with a game in hand, clearly have the momentum as they bid to overhaul the long-time leaders and claim a seventh title in nine years.
