‘Devastating’ – Gary Neville blown away by ‘amazing’ moment in Arsenal vs Man City
Gary Neville was left stunned by a vital passage of play from Manchester City against Arsenal on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola headed to the Emirates Stadium on 21 September, vying to keep his winning run intact after Man City beat Napoli 2-0 in the Champions League on Thursday, 18 September.
The North West outfit also defeated their local rivals, Manchester United, in their last Premier League game.
Meanwhile, Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Erling Haaland plans to snub interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Gary Neville stunned as Erling Haaland opens scoring for Man City vs Arsenal
Man City got off to a strong start against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, with Erling Haaland scoring after just nine minutes.
The 25-year-old swept the ball past David Raya at the end of a neat, counter-attacking move from Guardiola’s side.
Speaking live on Sky Sports Main Event on 21 September, Gary Neville said: “Absolutely amazing, a proper goal.
“When Haaland first came to City, you did not see this type of goal. This run, it is devastating and it was just if (Tijjani) Reijnders saw him, then the inevitable, it is wonderful from Halaand.
“Haaland is the best.”
Erling Haaland continues his remarkable run
In recent seasons, Haaland has deservedly established a reputation as one of the best strikers in the world, having previously fired Man City to two Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FA Cup.
| Man City’s next three fixtures | All competitions 2025/26 |
| 24/09 | Huddersfield (A), Carabao Cup |
| 27/09 | Burnley (H), Premier League |
| 01/10 | Monaco (A), Champions League |
Meanwhile, the Norway international’s goal against Arsenal marked his 10th in four games for club and country, largely because he notched five in a World Cup qualifier against Moldova on 9 September.
Just five days later, the 25-year-old inspired Man City to their 3-0 win over Man United by scoring a brace after Phil Foden opened the scoring via a header.
Guardiola’s men have a major task on their hands in beating defending Premier League champions Liverpool to the title this term, especially after the Reds utilised the transfer market to significantly bolster their ranks.
Furthermore, the Etihad Stadium club have already lost twice in the Premier League this season, thanks to their successive losses to Tottenham and Brighton.
