That's all for this evening!

Thanks as always for your company on a huge afternoon in the Premier League.

Wherever you've been following from, I hope you've enjoyed the performance and the three points.

No rest for the wicked though and we go to Burnley in three days.

Five games left in the Premier League with the title to play for.

It's always exciting to be a Blue! Until next time...

Pep's reaction 🗣️

"It was a good advert for the Premier League.

"They don't allow you to go through the process, they're so aggressive. They are good in the duels and one of the most competitive teams I ever faced in my career in terms of duels and one against one, long balls with Havertz and Rice, second balls - fantastic.

"We had momentum, they had momentum, we had chances, they had chances. At the end in these type of games, it is little margins.

"Both teams are good - really top managers! And really top players for both sides.

"I've been so demanding but the reality is, it's just one game. They are top of the league with one goal difference [better than City].

"We have to enjoy it, celebrate it, take the good things but don't lose the focus. The focus is in three days, we go to Burnley."

Arteta's post-match reaction 🗣️

Very upset with the result obviously. We came here to win the game. We prepared and believed we could win it. We started a goal down but we proved that we are there. In the boxes was the difference, that’s what decided the game. The difference was there.

It’s a new league now. We have three points advantage but they have a game in hand. We’re not going to stop and go again.

We've got...Guardiola 👏

This man was outstanding

Few sights better than Rodri in full flow. Elegance and composure on the ball, a warrior off it.

Another Man of the Match display against Arsenal!

Head to your Cityzens feed to enter the competition for a signed shirt.

Bernardo's reaction 💬

Very big. If we win the game in hand we’re on the same points. We’re happy that we can be on the same points.

ERLING?

Erling was fantastic today fighting for every ball. Today he fought like an animal.

TOP LEVEL GAME?

I thought we were very good until we made the mistake and we changed the mood a bit after the 30th minute. Second half was tough, it looks like we were in control but they are always dangerous, they has two big chances. 

The small margins make the difference. Overall we played a good game. We were there, our fans were there, I’m proud.

TITLE?

It’s a long season. A lot of small details didn’t go our way this season. Unlucky plays that we have had, we missed a lot of chances and today things went our way.

Haaland reacts 🗣️

I was quite happy I have to be honest. It was a great moment for me. A great win.

BATTLE?

I think it’s always like this, lots of fighting. What can i say, it’s always nice.

BERNARDO? ALWAYS CHASING?

I think I remember that cross when he headed it out. I just told him he was like Cannavaro today. Bernie, you were really good.
