Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal stunned champions Manchester City with a 2-0 win at the Etihad.
With Manuel Pellegrini's side looking to close the gap to Chelsea at the top of the table, they found themselves out-played for much of the match by a sharp looking Arsenal side.
The Gunners took the lead through a Santi Cazorla penalty after Nacho Monreal was adjudged to have been fouled in the box.
After the break Manchester City improved and were looking the more likely to score, however it was the visitors who were to find the back of the net. Olivier Giroud nodded in from a Cazorla free-kick, taking advantage of some terrible marking.
