Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City: Walcott and Giroud see off Pellegrini’s men

Arsenal moved to within two points of leaders Leicester City with a 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Emirates.

Theo Walcott opened the scoring for the Gunners, cutting in from the left and curling a superb strike into the top corner from fully 20 yards after 33 minutes.

Olivier Giroud then doubled the lead just before half-time, Mesut Ozil again the creator crossing low for the striker to squeeze the ball between Joe Hart’s legs.

The visitors improved after the break, but could not find a way past Petr Cech until the 82nd minute, Yaya Toure giving them a lifeline, yet Arsenal withstood a late barrage to take all three points.
