Erling Haaland flashes gold Premier League badge at Gabriel as Man City striker attempts to take gloss off Arsenal's thumping 5-1 win over reigning champions
Martin Odegaard opened the scoring for the Gunners within two minutes of kick-off, but Haaland brought City back into the game in the 55th minute. The visitors' joy was shortlived, though, as Thomas Partey soon scored the hosts' second goal. Myles Lewis-Skelly then scored a third before Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri sealed a thumping 5-1 victory.
