KDB rocked up at the Emirates against the league leaders, scored a world class goal and grabbed an assist to put City top of the table, all while putting Arteta in his place and casually avoided bottles thrown at him as he smiled his way off the pitch.

The other goalscorers for the new league leaders were Jack Grealish and ever-reliant Erling Haaland while Bukayo Saka pulled one back for Arsenal from the penalty spot.
