Here's what £55m gets you these days.

Arsenal ended up winning the game 2-1 to boost their Premier League title hopes and dented Manchester City's.

Theo Walcott gave Arsenal the lead with a ferocious low strike from the edge of the penalty area in the 33rd minute, and Olivier Giroud doubled the advantage with a clinical finish on the stroke of halftime.

Yaya Toure pulled a goal back with a first-time, left-footed strike eight minutes from the end, but City could not find an equaliser.

The win moves second-placed Arsenal to 36 points, two behind leaders Leicester on 38. City are third with 32 points.
