Thomas Partey played a key role as Arsenal thrashed Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, moving within six points of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
With Liverpool extending their lead at the top after a win at Bournemouth, Arsenal knew only victory would keep their title hopes alive.
Partey, making a strong return to the starting lineup, delivered a commanding midfield performance that helped the Gunners overpower the struggling champions.
Arsenal took an early lead inside two minutes when Manuel Akanji lost possession, allowing Martin Ødegaard to steer in Kai Havertz's pass.
