00:00Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have moved ominously closer to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table after securing
00:10a tense and thrilling victory at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
00:16The win left City just three points behind league leaders Arsenal with a crucial game in hand, intensifying the title
00:25race.
00:25The match was filled with high quality chances from both sides.
00:31Ryan Cherky, after previously striking the post, displayed exceptional skill dancing through defenders before slotting the ball past David Raya.
00:41However, Arsenal responded almost immediately, equalising just 107 seconds later when goalkeeper Donnarumma was caught on the ball.
00:51Kai Havertz pressed well, blocked a clearance and the ball ricocheted into the top corner of Manchester City's net.
00:59In the second half, Erling Haaland hit the post early on before both teams continued to threaten.
01:07Donnarumma made up for a previous error when Havertz went through one-on-one in goal.
01:13Probably should have scored, but Donnarumma made a save.
01:16Then Eberica Eze hit the woodwork, but it was Erling Haaland who eventually broke the deadlock while the game was
01:24at 1-1, holding off Gabriel and slotting the ball home.
01:28Arsenal had a late chance with Gabriel hitting the post and an even later one with Kai Havertz, whose header
01:35just went over the bar.
01:37An intense last five games for Arsenal and six games for Manchester City await.
