Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne worked together to give Manchester City a stunning lead over Arsenal.
The goal that will live long in the memory was scored by City’s two most important players during a startlingly one-sided first half at the Etihad.
After two penalty appeals were denied in the first ten minutes, De Bruyne’s beautiful curling shot from outside the area broke the tie and erupted the Eithad into jubilation.
