Arsenal’s commanding victory came after City had briefly leveled the score following an early mistake from Nigerian descent, Manuel Akanji.

Kai Havertz also made up for an earlier miss with a clinical finish, and young Ethan Nwaneri capped the day off with a sensational goal.

Bassey, known for his involvement in the non-governmental and non-official Presidential Prayer Breakfast, went viral after attending the event to offer prayers for the newly elected President of the United States, Trump, and his government.
