EPL: Manchester City hammers table leaders Arsenal 4-1 to move two points off top

Manchester City delivered a masterclass to overwhelm English Premier League leaders Arsenal 4-1 and strike a huge psychological blow in the title race.

The confrontation was billed as a potential title-decider turned into an embarrassingly one-sided affair.

Pep Guardiola's side, now two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand, were inspired by the devastating partnership of Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne.

de Bruyne scored twice while John Stones and Haaland scored a goal each for City.

Arsenal leads the table with 75 points, City now has 73 points while Newcastle in third place and Manchester United in fourth place have 59 points each.

In other matches today, Liverpool beat West Ham 2-1, Brentford beat Chelsea 2-0 while Nottingham Forest beat Brighton 3-1.
