On Wednesday evening, the rescheduled 12th round of matches took place in the Premier League, where the leaders of the competition met.

Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3:1 in their away game.

In the 24th minute, the "City" team took the lead. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Aaron Ramsdale failed to communicate in defense, allowing Kevin De Bruyne to score a beautiful goal.

After conceding a goal, the Arsenal players recovered and equalized the score just before halftime. Bukayo Saka was precise from the penalty spot.

At the beginning of the second half, both teams had several opportunities to score. Then Jack Grealish took matters into his own hands, defeating Ramsdale and once again putting his team in the lead.

In the 82nd minute, Pep Guardiola's troops secured victory with Erling Haaland's goal after K. De Bruyne's pass. This was the first goal by the Norwegian away from home against a so-called "top 6" team.

After these matches, Manchester City overtook Arsenal in the league standings. However, the Gunners still have one game in hand.
