City began the game with momentum after Arsenal’s surprise home defeat by Bournemouth last week had opened the door and they got the perfect start with Rayan Cherki’s brilliant solo goal giving them the lead in the 15th minute.
But Arsenal were gifted an equaliser less than two minutes later as home keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s hesitation was punished by Kai Havertz.
Eberechi Eze struck the woodwork for Arsenal as both sides sought a winner after the break but it was Haaland who popped up with his 23rd league goal of the season after great work by Nico O’Reilly
