Man City fans unveiled brutal six-word banner mocking Arsenal after huge Etihad Stadium win

Manchester City supporters could not resist taking aim at Arsenal after Sunday’s huge title showdown.

And the message displayed inside the Etihad Stadium was as brutal as it was simple.

Man City fans had a message for Arsenal after 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium

After Man City’s huge 2-1 victory over Arsenal, home supporters unveiled a banner reading: “Panic on the streets of London.”

The six-word message, taken from the famous song by The Smiths, appeared inside the Etihad shortly after the final whistle.

It came after City moved to within touching distance of the north Londoners in the Premier League title race.

Erling Haaland scored what proved to be the winning goal in the second half after Kai Havertz had cancelled out an early opener.

The result left Arsenal still top of the table, but only narrowly, with City holding a game in hand.

The banner was clearly aimed at the growing pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side as they attempt to hold off City in the closing weeks of the season.

Whether the Gunners deserve the ‘bottling' it accusations or not, this is the narrative they are now up against.

City have been here so many times before, and their supporters know exactly how much pressure they can heap on a rival during a title run-in.

The banner was ruthless, but it also reflected the feeling that momentum may have swung back towards City.

Arsenal still have their fate in their own hands, but after another defeat to Guardiola’s side, the pressure on them has only grown.
