Manchester City ace Kevin De Bruyne felt his partnership with Erling Haaland was the key to defeating Arsenal for a specific reason.

Haaland and De Bruyne ran the show in the City front line, with De Bruyne scoring twice and Haaland the fourth in a 4-1 win over the Gunners.

City's home win on Wednesday moves them to within two points of the league leaders with two games in hand.

He's been involved before it just depends who you are playing against," De Bruyne stated post-game.

"There is more space in behind with Arsenal as they go to man to man.

"That meant there were more opportunities for me to run into the space and get the ball. I think we created enough chances.

I think last night there was a little bit more space, the way Arsenal pressed."
