Manchester City leapfrog Arsenal into top spot of the Premier League title race after intense win

Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League for the first time since November with a 3-1 win at Arsenal in the biggest game of the season so far.

Goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland -- a Bukayo Saka penalty equalised for the Gunners in the first-half -- inflicted Arsenal's first home defeat of the season and inflicted a huge dent in their hopes of winning the title for the first time since 2004.

The defeat extended Arsenal's recent slump that has seen them claim just one point from their last three games.
