<p><a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/arsenal"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a> delivered a statement performance with a dominant 5-1 victory over <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/?s=manchester+city"><strong>Manchester City</strong></a> at the Emirates, cutting Liverpool’s lead at the top of the <strong>Premier League</strong> to six points.</p>
<p>The Gunners took the lead just three minutes in through Martin Ødegaard, setting the tone for a fiery encounter that saw Gabriel and Erling Haaland reignite their on-field rivalry.</p>
<p>City responded early in the second half when Haaland found space ahead of William Saliba to head home the equalizer.</p>
<p>However, Arsenal struck back immediately as Thomas Partey’s deflected shot off John Stones restored their lead within 38 seconds.</p>

<p>Myles Lewis-Skelly made it 3-1 with a stunning effort, celebrating in front of Haaland with the Norwegian’s signature pose.</p>
<p>Kai Havertz, who had missed a golden chance in the first half, made amends in the 76th minute by sealing Arsenal’s emphatic victory.</p>
<p>The result sees City stumble in their title defense while also opening the door for Chelsea to push into the top four.</p>
<p>Arsenal, meanwhile, keep their Premier League hopes alive with a ruthless display against the reigning champions.</p>
