Watch: Akanji's brutal mistake gifts Arsenal easy goal

Arsenal took an early lead in Sunday's 5-1 win over Manchester City after Manuel Akanji's mistake led to Martin Odegaard opening the scoring at the Emirates Stadium.

After Akanji's errant pass deep in City's half, Kai Havertz was sent into the box, where he found Odegaard for the first goal less than two minutes into the match.

It's the second game in a row in which City conceded in the opening three minutes. Chelsea scored three minutes into their game against City last weekend but lost the match 3-1.

Erling Haaland brought Manchester City level in the 55th minute with his 19th Premier League goal of the season.

But Arsenal retook the lead a minute later thanks to another costly giveaway. Thomas Partey intercepted Phil Foden's pass and fired a long-range shot that deflected off John Stones and into the net.

Myles Lewis-Skelly scored in the 63rd minute before goals from Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri helped seal three points.
