Manchester City is back!
Star coach Pep Guardiola’s team beat Arsenal 3-1 in the top game in the Premier League, shooting the Gunners from first place. Arsenal, however, have played one game less.
Pep Guardiola lets his top scorer Erling Haaland play in the starting eleven once morest the Londoners, whose use was initially unclear due to an injury in the 3-1 win once morest Aston Villa.
The ex-BVB star is initially without a goal of his own, but he can still celebrate in the first round.
24. Minute: The lead for Man City following a big buck from defender Takehiro Tomiyasu! The Japanese plays a back pass right into Kevin De Bruyne’s path, who coolly lobs Arsenal keeper Ramsdale to make it 1-0.
The City fans celebrate, but not for long…
42. Minute: The deserved equalizer for Arsenal. Eddie Nketiah plays the ball past goalkeeper Ederson in the penalty area and then rattles with the keeper. Penalty! Guardiola and his players don’t want to have seen a foul, are really upset and complain to the referee. But the decision stands. Bukayo Saka safely converts the penalty to make it 1-1 at half-time.
The Gunners’ new Edel fan is also very happy regarding the goal. Miss Croatia Ivana Knöll, who caused a sensation with her revealing performances at the World Cup in Qatar, is cheering on in the Arsenal dress at the Emirates Stadium.

After the break, there was a big fuss: Haaland was put down by Gabriel in the penalty area, but the penalty for City was conceded once more by VAR because Haaland was just offside before (58.) Pure frustration for Guardiola & Co.!
However, that will soon change.
72. Minute: Goal for ManCity and this time the referees have nothing to complain regarding! Ilkay Gündogan forwards a Haaland pass directly to Jack Grealish, who immediately pulls it off and makes it 2-1.
In the 82nd minute, the strong Haaland also got his goal and put the lid on it with the 3: 1. City shoots down the Gunners. The championship in England is completely open once more.
