Erling Haaland sets up goals just as well as he scores them.

Manchester City's star striker took down John Stones' long ball before laying it off to Kevin De Bruyne for the opening goal of Wednesday's decisive 4-1 win over Arsenal.

De Bruyne darted into open space and unleashed a low driven shot that eluded goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

That was just the beginning of the Belgian midfielder's breathless performance at the Etihad. De Bruyne's free-kick prior to halftime led to City's second goal, and he scored his second of the night in the 54th minute to swing the title race back in his team's favor.

City, who have two games in hand on title rivals Arsenal, are now just two points back of the first-placed Gunners.
