Kevin de Bruyne scores twice for the hosts while Erling Haaland and John Stones netted a goal each to give Pep Guardiola’s side the win.
Gunners defender Rob Holding had scored a consolation before Haaland’s late effort that sealed a memorable night being his 49th goal for City this season.
City can go top with victory at Fulham on Sunday while Arsenal must somehow pull out of a slump that has seen them go four league games without a win at a crucial stage of the season.
