But they reduced the gap between themselves and the Merseysiders to six points thanks to a 5-1 WIN over the visitors.

Goals from Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Kai Havertz and Ethan Nwaneri did the business on a cold evening in north London.

SunSport was live in attendance at the Emirates and is on hand to rate and slate the performances of Mikel Arteta’s troops.

David Raya – 7/10

Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol.

Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland‘s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores.

Jurrien Timber – 6

Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half.

William Saliba – 5

Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all of his aerial battles. Marshalled the defence well in the second but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser.

Gabriel Magalhaes – 6

Like his defensive partner, he was seldom called into action in the first half. Dominant in the air in his battles with Haaland, who he trolled after Odegaard’s goal.

Myles Lewis-Skelly – 8

Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years.

Floated brilliantly between left back and midfield when required.

Put real daylight between the two sides with a thumping finish just after the hour mark. This young lad is A real bright prospect for both the Gunners and England.

Thomas Partey – 7

Steady in the heart of midfield and broke up play well when required.

Fired the Gunners back into the lead in the 57th minute with a deflected shot from outside the box.

Martin Odegaard – 7

Was in the right place at the right time to benefit from the aftermath of an uncharacteristic Manuel Akanji error and fire the Gunners into the lead.

Was at the heart of everything good the north Londoners did going forward.

Declan Rice – 6

Combative, as always, in the middle of the park and played a role in the home side breaking the deadlock, teeing up Havertz who squared the ball to Odegaard.

Leandro Trossard – 6

Was particularly lively on the left in the first half, giving Matheus Nunes a real run for his money. His end product, however, wasn’t the best.

Gabriel Martinelli – 6

Lively on the right wing in the early goings. Found the back of the net in the 5th minute after some beautiful play from Odegaard but was needlessly offside.

Forced a good save out of Ortega with a rasping effort in the 68th minute.

Kai Havertez – 6

Lively early doors, testing Stefan Ortega with a tame shot in the first minute. Teed up Odegaard for a tap in a few moments later.

Missed a golden opportunity to double the lead in the 25th minute, dragging the ball wide with the goal at his absolute mercy.

Made amends for his howler by finishing an even harder chance in the 76th minute.

Riccardo Calafiori 89 (on for Lewis-Skelly) – N/A

THIS is the brainteaser that asks you to find what’s wrong with this man’s otherwise delightful morning stroll.

Everyone can see the gent walking across the bridge, but only those with a high IQ can spot the mistake in the image in seven seconds.

Can you spot the mistake in this serene scene?[/caption]

This teaser is tricky because there isn’t a lot going on in the background of the image to spot.

The lack of detail in what is there also complicates things, because nothing jumps out as being wrong immediately in the picture.

It makes for quite a simple image that doesn’t give you an obvious place to begin your search.

For example, the plain nature of the sky and the horizon behind the man means there aren’t many obvious mistakes that could be there.

It means that you might have to look for more obscure elements of the brainteaser that are hidden in plain sight.

The key to this one is to focus on the area behind the man.

Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!

ONE Formula One team has huge potential to “blow up” this season after a host of driver changes across the grid.

Only McLaren and Aston Martin have retained the same driver lineup from the 2024 grid to this season.

Ollie Bearman could be part of an F1 team that ‘blows up’ this season[/caption]

One journalist believes Esteban Ocon could be a disruptive presence[/caption]

But according to F1 journalist Ben Anderson, Haas in particular could be facing a rocky road ahead.

That is because he believes Esteban Ocon, who moved to the team from Alpine, could clash with British rookie Ollie Bearman.

Bearman, 19, raced in three F1 races last season, replacing Carlos Sainz at Ferrari and later Kevin Magnussen in two races at Haas.

However, it is believed that Ocon’s less-than glittering record in getting on with team-mates could cause an “explosion” at the team.

Speaking on The Race F1 Extra podcast, he said: “Bearman and Ocon, definitely has major potential I think to blow up.

“Pretty much because of Ocon’s long history of not getting on that well with his team-mates.

“I think Bearman is a really exciting talent, someone who probably will end up replacing Lewis [Hamilton] at Ferrari in the future, has some edge to him and I suspect will be quick enough to give Ocon some serious trouble.

“And I think at that point it becomes all about how Ocon reacts and history suggests that he won’t react that well to being given trouble by his team-mate.

“And I think already Haas are kind of a bit worried about that aspect so I imagine Ayao Komatsu will be big on rules of engagement for his drivers going into this season.”

Ocon, 28, previously had bad blood with Pierre Gasly, but seemed to have put any issues under the bridge while the pair were at Alpine.

The Frenchman had also not seen eye-to-eye with Fernando Alonso when they publicly fell out when he was his team-mate prior to Gasly.

Following the move in 2023, Ocon said: “I was disappointed by Fernando [Alonso]’s comments that came out in the press and internally.

“We didn’t really have a discussion, within the team, about all that. I think it’s good that he’s leaving [for Aston Martin] and that we do our part as we should.”

Alonso later called Ocon “immature” after their collision at the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix.

The 2025 season kicks off at the Australian Grand Prix in March.

ARSENAL youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly was on wide-up duties against Manchester City.

The talented full-back did Erling Haaland’s celebration after putting the Gunners 3-1 up against Pep Guardiola’s side at the Emirates.

Lewis-Skelly wrapped in a two goal cushion in the 61st minute, with a great strike for his first Premier League goal.

But it was the 18-year-old’s celebration has Arsenal fans talking.

Lewis-Skelly hilariously did City striker Haaland’s meditation celebration near the corner flag as his team-mates huddled around him.

Haaland’s celebration involves him sitting in a meditative pose, reminiscent of the ‘Lotus’ pose from yoga.

A WOMAN has revealed that she’s started talking in a full-blown Italian accent after having a stroke, despite never having visited the country. 

Althia Bryden, 58, who is retired and lives in London with husband Winston, 63, suffered the stroke in May last year and was initially unable to speak.

She was also not able to feel the upper right portion of her body for over three months due to a carotid web in her neck, which doctors believe could have caused the stroke.

When she was able to have it removed by surgery last August she was left dumfounded when she was finally able to talk.

Although she could speak, it was in an Italian accent.

Speaking on This Morning, she said: “I hadn’t heard my voice for a long time. When I spoke, I thought, ‘Who is it?’ I didn’t realize it was me.

“So you’re speaking, and you think it’s somebody else talking?

“Yes! I looked behind me in my hospital bed, wondering, ‘Who is speaking to me?’ 

“It was a big shock.

“I thought maybe because she had frightened me from my sleep—because, you know, in the hospital, they wake you so early in the morning—it was a dream.”

TV host Alison Hammond replied: “That must have been so weird, like somebody had taken over, like another character.”

Husband Winston shared how weird it had been for him when he arrived at the hospital and heard the Italian accent.

He said: “When I came into the ward, I looked at her and said, ‘Hi, darling.’ 

“She responded, ‘Hi, Bab,’ but the way she said it—I actually took a step back. 

“She spoke again, and I was shocked.”

As well as adopting the new accent, Althia admitted she now slips Italian phrases into conversations, such as “mamma mia”, “bambino” and “si”, and has adopted hand gestures too.

Althia continued: “My life feels like a contradiction. 

“I’m happy to speak again, but now I’m searching for my old sound, and it’s nowhere to be found. 

“I feel like a stranger in my own body, and nobody can tell me why this is happening to me. 

“I keep asking, ‘Why is this happening to me? Why do I speak like this?’ But nobody has an answer.

“I’ve realised it is a blessing. I think about the fact that I couldn’t speak before, and now I can. 

“I don’t want to be ungrateful for my blessing.”

New accent cure?

Professor Nick Miller, an expert in neuroscience at Newcastle University, gave his views on Althia’s Foreign Accent Syndrome.

He shared: “It’s the label given to instances where someone has a stroke or another neurological disorder and suddenly starts sounding like they’re speaking with a foreign accent. 

“They may have never spoken that language before, never been to that country, and never associated with that language.

“When a stroke affects parts of the brain that control speech—such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords—it alters the strength, speed, and range of movements, which changes how speech sounds. 

“This creates subtle shifts in pronunciation and rhythm that might resemble a foreign accent.”

When asked if there is a cure, he said: “The prognosis is good. 

“Treatment can focus on speech therapy to help regain original pronunciation, or for functional cases, cognitive behavioral therapy to help regain control over speech.”
