CHRIS SUTTON'S BIG MATCH RATINGS: Pep Guardiola schools his former pupil as Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland tear Arsenal apart... but where was the Bukayo Saka we've seen this season?

Manchester City swept aside the challenge of Arsenal and moved themselves into pole position to retain their Premier League crown on Wednesday night.

In a highly-anticipated showdown between the country's top two teams, it was City who showed their class and experience as they put four past an overwhelmed Gunners side.

A masterful Kevin de Bruyne scored twice on the night, with goals from John Stones and Erling Haaland sealing a 4-1 rout and handing Pep Guardiola's men full control of the title race.

City now trail Arsenal by just two points at the summit and have as many games-in-hand still to play.
