On what proved a tough afternoon at the Emirates, the champions fell to a 5-1 defeat in what proved a first league loss of 2025.
Martin Odegaard had struck to give the Gunners a second minute lead only for Erling Haaland to level affairs with a fine 55th minute header for what was his 250th club goal in just 314 matches.
However, two quickfire goals in six minutes from Arsenal proved pivotal.
Within a minute of Haaland’s effort, Thomas Partey fired home via a John Stones deflection to restore Arsenal’s lead before Myles Lewis-Skelly struck to extend the hosts’ advantage.
A Kai Havertz strike on 76 minutes then added to the host’ lead before Ethan Nwaneri struck with the last kick of the game to round off a tough afternoon.
