Manchester City winger Jack Grealish earned praise from Sky Sports pundit Michael Dawson꧂🦋 during their win over Arsenal on Wednesday night.

The Citizens leapfrogged the Gunners to return to the top of the Premier League table after a convincing vi𓂃ctory at the Emirates Stadium.

City took the lead in the 24th minute, Kevin De Bruyne making the most of a poor Takehiro Tomi♓yasu back pass to lash home from outside the box.

Arsenal then restored parity close to half time with a controversial penalty after Ederson was𓄧 adjudged to have brought Eddie Nketiah down.

Just before the hour mark, VAR denied Manchester City a penalty. Erling Haa🗹land was deemed to be offside ahead of Gabriel Magalhaes hauling him down.

‘Going mad’

Non𒈔etheless, Pep Guardiola’s charges remained focused and went on to retake the lead midway through the second half.

Haaland found Ilkay Gundogan to 🤡his right. He dulღy set Grealish up for the final finish via a Tomiyasu deflection.

The £270👍,000-a-week ace celebrated in style upon 𒐪grabbing his fifth goal contribution from nine matches.

“It’s a magnificent finis🍬h,” D🌊awson said on Soccer Special (). “Jack Grealish is going mad!”

Haaland then went on to put City out of Arsenal’s reach wꦦith just eight minutes to go.

The Nor𝔍way international slammed home from close range after great work from Ilkay Gundogan and De Bruyne.

A clinical, ruthless performance from the reigning champions to finally💧 depose the Gunners off the top.

ꦺThere’s still a long way to go in the title race. And Arsenal do hav๊e a game in hand on the Etihad Stadium side.

Nonetheless, the 🌊momentum is now with Manche🍎ster City.

And Grealish, whose form has been amazing since returning from the World Cup, could play a huge ♏role at the business end of the campaign.
