The Norwegian’s second-half winner for Manchester City could prove vital in the title race.

The Gunners face being usurped from the summit for the first time since September.

Kai Havertz quickly cancelled out Rayan Cherki’s opener but Haaland fired City to victory over the league-leading Gunners.

The Gunners will head to the Etihad guarding a six-point lead over Pep Guardiola’s side.
