And Mikel Arteta's side's fine run has continued, Declan Rice opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 19th minute. But a mistake from goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale - deputising for David Raya who can't play against parent club during a season-long loan - allowed Yoanne Wissa to net.
It appeared that the Gunners would drop points yet Kai Havertz headed home Ben White's cross with just four minutes remaining. It means that Arsenal are now a point ahead of Liverpool and two in front of City with the modern-day rivals going head-to-head at Anfield tomorrow.
