Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has mocked Arsenal fans are inspiring the champions to a huge win at the Emirates Stadium.

De Bruyne opened the scoring on Wednesday night with a fine finish over Aaron Ramsdale after Takehiro Tomiyasu's costly mistake.

Arsenal restored parity in controversial fashion with a Bukayo Saka penalty, only to see Jack Grealish restore City's lead in the second half.

City finished the Gunners off less than 10 minutes from time as Haaland was found by De Bruyne inside the area to fire low past Ramsdale, sending City above Arsenal in the league for the first time in over three months.

De Bruyne, who earlier clashed with a wound-up Mikel Arteta, was soon substituted and slowly walked around the pitch as he was pelted by plastic bottles and glasses from angry Arsenal fans, the Belgian simply smiling back at the baying crowd.

And De Bruyne would again have the last laugh on social media, with a tongue-in-cheek post celebrating a pivotal win, and one of his best performances of the season.

Sharing an image of a plastic cup heading his way, De Bruyne added the caption "Beer anyone?" and then added another similar image with the caption "thanks!"

De Bruyne and his City team-mates will be toasting a big victory tonight.
