EPL: Arsenal Trounce City in Spiteful Clash

Arsenal beat Manchester City 5-1 in a spiteful clash to keep their Premier League title hopes alive on Sunday.

Arsenal were gifted the perfect start inside two minutes as Manuel Akanji lost possession and Kai Havertz squared for Martin Odegaard to open the scoring.

 

Havertz exposed Arsenal’s lack of a clinical goalscorer when he wasted a glorious chance to double the lead.

That could have proved costly when Erling Haaland headed in his 250th career club goal early in the second half to bring City level.

But the defending champions are a pale shadow of their former selves this season and conceded within 105 seconds of the restart when Thomas Partey’s shot deflected in off John Stones.

Miles Lewis-Skelly the 18-year-old made the most of that reprieve by curling in Arsenal’s third for his first goal for the club.

Havertz fired low and hard into the far corner with City cut open at will by the Arsenal counter-attack.

And another Arsenal teenager rounded off the rout when Ethan Nwaneri curled home in stoppage time.
