Manchester City welcomed Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants made a bright start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 16th minute when Rayan Cherki found the back of the net. However, Kai Havertz equalised for the Gunners just a couple of minutes later as the two teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland scored the winning goal for Pep Guardiola\u2019s side in the 65th minute as Man City secured a hard-fought 2-1 win at the Etihad.<\/p>\n
