Haaland is a very talented player. And because of his good fitness, he has been able to play consistently well. Also because Haaland's performances are more consistent and stronger than during his time at Dortmund, Guardiola has placed Haaland at the center of his match strategy. And Manchester City has an experienced midfield. The midfielders are giving Haaland a lot of support to score goals.
Manchester City played defensively against Dortmund. But after conceding a goal in the second half, they started to play with full attacking tactics. And I think that's why they were late to score. If they played an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match, maybe we would have seen several goals in the first half.

Yes, as you said, Manchester City has very good midfielders, when a Striker like Haland comes, these players throw goal passes one after the other, currently breaking the statistical record Haland. The goal he scored last night was a very classy goal, he hit it like a front kick and the goalkeeper couldn't even see the ball. There is a really different City this year, they were very good last season, but this year they have become really scary.

There is no doubt that Manchester City's squad and performances are stronger than last season. They have continued their good performance since the first match. Unfortunately, they are now second in the table due to sharing points from two matches. However, if Haaland is able to continue his performance, then we will see the Manchester City team in first place on the table very soon.
Arsenal is at the top of the table but they won against a relatively weak team. Manchester United are not stable enough, yet Arsenal has lost against them. So I don't think Arsenal can play well against strong teams. They are going to lose the top spot in the points table very soon.
