GOAL! Arsenal 3-1 Man City (Lewis-Skelly, 63)

ARSENAL HAVE A NEW STAR BOY! WELCOME TO THE BIG TIME – MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY!

What a composed finish this is from the 18-year-old. Rice finds him in the box after some patient play down the left.

Lewis-Skelly takes it in his stride and thinks about it. He cuts inside and aims for the find corner. Ortega should do better – but we’re not taking anything away from that composure.

Arsenal have that two-goal buffer now.

INSTANT REPLY! WHERE HAS THAT COME FROM?

Once again, it’s poor play from City out the back and Arsenal have their lead back straight away!

Phil Foden, what are you doing? Sunday League teams know you don’t play a square ball like that across the pitch without asking for trouble.

He plays it straight to Partey and the Arsenal crowd call for him to shoot. He takes one touch, two, set himself and then fires at goal.

It takes a huge deflection and finds the far corner. Ortega’s turn to be rooted to the spot.

Two minutes after being pegged back, Arsenal have the initiative again. What now?

Arsenal 1-1 Man City

“Arsenal were asking for trouble and now they have it.”

Arsenal 1-1 Man City

Sky Sports’ Nick Wright at the Emirates Stadium:

“One shot, one goal for Haaland. He takes it brilliantly.”

Sky Sports News reporter Gail Davis at the Emirates Stadium:

“With a wry smile, Haaland taps the badge. Savinho’s cross is a good one but Saliba is caught the wrong side and Haaland easily heads past Raya in the Arsenal goal.”

GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Man City (Haaland, 55)

SUCKER PUNCH! Arsenal pegged back. A big goal in the title race perhaps?

Nunes and Foden combine down the right and he feeds Savinho in the box.

The winger hangs up a lovely ball to the back post and Haaland has the better of Saliba this time.

It’s a great leap, a great header into the roof of the net. Raya had no chance.

Sky Sports’ Sam Blitz at the Emirates Stadium:

“Nervousness in the air here. Arsenal could really do with that second goal to free themselves up a bit.

“It got even more tense when Raya played the ball out to Partey in his own box but the Arsenal midfielder turned well.”

The Arsenal winger puts in a deflected cross in which is begging to be headed home. No-one there and Odegaard can’t keep it in.

51: FOUL! Lewis-Skelly’s pocket is pinched by Nunes and that allows Foden to go on a run.

Lewis-Skelly does well to follow the City forward but then Odegaard comes across and concedes the foul.

This free-kick is heading into the Arsenal box…

“Strong defending from Saliba against Marmoush. Haaland with the pass but Man City would rather have him on the end of those. No shots from him yet this afternoon.”

49: A reminder where we sit as things stand.

Arsenal would be moving six points behind Liverpool with a win, sitting right on their coat tails before next week’s Merseyside derby – which is Liverpool’s game in hand.

Man City know that fail to win here and Chelsea can overtake them into fourth if they beat West Ham tomorrow, live on Monday Night Football.

Time to go again…

The teams are back out for the second half.

A big 45 minutes in the title race, you feel. Can Arsenal finish this job to stay afloat? Or are City going to sort themselves out and create a twist?
