1-3 Arsenal Manchester City: Champions return to the top of the Premier League with a crucial win over title rivals, thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Erling Haaland punishing the Gunners' errors. Manchester City has risen to the top of the Premier League after a crucial 3-1 win over Arsenal. After an error by Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kevin De Bruyne put City ahead, before Bukayo Saka scored a penalty. Erling Haaland scored his 32nd goal of the season after Jack Grealish's deflected strike put City ahead. Pep Guardiola savored the names as he read them out a few days ago. It was a list of clubs that tried to drive Manchester City out of the Premier League three years ago, when the club was facing Uefa charges of financial wrongdoing. Guardiola mentioned Arsenal as the sixth club, but he and City went after them first. It may have been unseasonably warm in north London, and this may have been a brilliant game of football played in the white heat of competition
