Arsenal beat Manchester City 5-1 to keep their Premier League title hopes alive on Sunday, reports NDTV.

In the battle between the top two for the past two seasons, the Gunners prevailed to move within six points of leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

“It is a great day for us, especially with the necessity that we had to win the game,” said Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal were gifted the perfect start inside two minutes as Manuel Akanji lost possession and Kai Havertz squared for Martin Odegaard to open the scoring.

Erling Haaland headed in his 250th career club goal early in the second half to bring City level.

But the defending champions are a pale shadow of their former selves this season and conceded within 105 seconds of the restart when Thomas Partey's shot deflected in off John Stones.

“It's happened all season, we are giving away too many things,” said City manager Pep Guardiola.

“You cannot lose the control, it's 95 minutes. You cannot finish in the way we played.”
