Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor: "[The mood in the team is] not great, of course. The players we have are very honest. We know we didn't perform and execute to the level we know we are capable of.

Mikel Arteta urged his Arsenal players to “focus on us” after a 5-1 hammering of bitter rivals Manchester City gave their title hopes a major boost. The Gunners produced a superb second-half performance to thrash the champions in a fixture that has become one of the Premier League’s spiciest grudge matches.

Arsenal didn't forget Erling Haaland's jibe after Man City won the teams' September matchup. On Sunday, the Gunners got their payback, winning 5-1.

This is the one where Arsenal simply wanted it more. And in that intense desire there was a bit of devilment with Gabriel Magalhaes screaming into Erling Haaland’s face and, above all, Myles Lewis-Skelly striking the ‘meditation pose’ the Manchester City forward used to favour as his goal celebration.

Haaland and his City teammates were on the receiving end of a 5-1 drubbing by Arsenal at the Emirates - where Myles Lewis-Skelly copied Haaland's celebration after scoring.
