Arsenal vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates as Erling Haaland scores at the death

Mikel Arteta’s team face Pep Guardiola’s in an encounter that could determine who wins the Premier League title

Of course Arsenal game is important for title - Pep

Arsenal host Manchester City in a rearranged Premier League fixture that will have big ramifications on the title race when the two rivals clash at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

The Gunners have a three-point lead – with a game in hand - over Pep Guardiola’s men ahead of the first league meeting between the sides this season. Mikel Arteta’s side reached the halfway point with a total of 50 points but have dropped five points in their last two games, against Everton and Brentford, leaving the door open for City to chase them down.

The two teams clashed in the FA Cup last month with City running out 1-0 winners and the reigning champions will move to the top of the table should they defeat Arsenal again this evening.

Could tonight’s encounter determine where the Premier League trophy ends up at the end of the season?

Half-time: Arsenal 1-1 Man City

45+6 mins: Chance for Man City right at the end of the first half. They win a free kick about 25-yards out from goal with Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez stood over it.

Mahrez swings it in after De Bruyne’s dummy run. Tomiyasu’s header comes to Rodri who nods one into the ground and sees the ball bounce up onto the crossbar before Ramsdale flaps it behind.

Arsenal then defend the corner and the whistle goes for half-time.

GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Man City (De Bruyne, 24’)⚽️

24 mins: Incredible finish! A long ball comes up to Erling Haaland who nods the ball over to a back-tracking Takehiro Tomiyasu. The defender is put under pressure from Jack Grealish and decides to offload the ball back to his goalkeeper.

Tomiyasu underhits the pass though and Kevin De Bruyne sprints onto the loose ball as Aaron Ramsdale comes flying off his line. De Bruyne sees Ramsdale coming and lifts it over the goalkeeper with a first time shot that curls and bounces into the back of the net.

Man City lead!
