It was a thrilling meeting that had a bit of everything.
Goals, controversy, drama...
It was also a powerful statement from a new-look City that made it four Premier League wins in succession and maintained our 100% start to the 2009/10 league season.
Micah Richards opened the scoring with a well-timed header in the first half before Robin van Persie equalised just after the hour mark.
With the match finely in the balance, Mark Hughes’ side produced an electric attacking response as Craig Bellamy restored our lead.
And then there was Emmanuel Adebayor’s unforgettable celebration after netting against his former employers to extend the host’s lead further.
Later goals from Shaun Wright-Phillips and the Gunners’ Tomáš Rosický completed an epic afternoon at the Etihad Stadium.
