Man City star Jack Grealish fires seven-word message after Arsenal win

Manchester City went level on 51 points with Arsenal and climbed back on to the top of the Premier League table after a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

City went ahead through Kevin De Bruyne but his goal was cancelled out by a Bukayo Saka penalty. Jack Grealish scored City's second before Erling Haaland made sure of the win for Pep Guardiola's side with eight minutes left to play. City are back on form after a surprising 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month with back-to-back 3-1 defeats of Aston Villa and Arsenal respectively.

Meanwhile Arsenal are four games without a win and could have gone six points clear of City, but they passed up that opportunity. Grealish, meanwhile, took to social media to send a message after his side's win at the Emirates.

He wrote on Instagram: "Get in there!!! I love this team." Haaland also had his say online, writing: "Together. ALWAYS," while De Bruyne put on Instagram: "C’MONNNNNN."

Guardiola, meanwhile, admitted that his side did not have it all their own way and had to battle for a crucial three points. "The game was half-half," Guardiola said.

"It's not easy to play against them, the build up they have is really good. "We were in the game and at the end, the quality of the players made the difference."

He added: "There are still many games to play, the Champions League is coming, the Europa League is coming, so - but importantly is the fact we could have come here a few weeks ago eight or nine points behind and losing here will be almost over. "Now for the fact that they dropped points, we came here for the chance to win the game and now we are there (level at the top of the league).

"So far they've got better results than us - this is the reality."
