Manchester City powered to a 6-3 win over Arsenal to put themselves within touching distance of the Premier League leaders, according to reports.
According to Sky News, City took the lead in a pulsating content just 14 minutes in and it was little surprise to see Sergio Aguero volleying home.
Theo Walcott restored parity but it was not long before Alvaro Negredo put City back ahead, the report said.
Fernandinho extended their lead on 50 minutes before Walcott curled home a wonderful second but City were not to be denied, the report added.
David Silva side-footed home from close range to add the fourth before Fernandinho added his second, the report further said.
Per Mertesacker headed home a consolation for the visitors deep into injury time but there was still time for a sixth as James Milner was tripped in the box by Wojciech Szczesny to allow Yaya Toure to slide home a penalty to cap a remarkable win, the report mentioned.
The win now takes City to within three points of Arsenal, who have certainly had a week to forget with two losses and a draw in the last six days, according to the report.
