Manchester City eventually saw off West Ham United to return to the top of the Premier League table thanks to an excellent second half display.
Nathan Ake headed home the opening goal at the start of the second half before Erling Haaland bagged a record 35th Premier League goal of the season, with Phil Foden making the points safe late on.
The result sees City climb back above Arsenal by a point with a game in hand, but West Ham continue to look over their shoulder at the relegation zone.
