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.
