From the outset, City imposed their authority on the game. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring just five minutes in, drilling a low shot into the bottom corner. Within 12 minutes, it was 2-0 as Erling Haaland poked home a rebound. Arsenal, despite promising signs in the early stages, struggled to cope with City’s relentless pressure. Jack Grealish made it 3-0 on the half-hour mark, side-footing home a through ball from De Bruyne. After the break, City continued to dominate. Haaland added his second of the game in the 69th minute, rising highest to meet a cross from Joao Cancelo. Riyad Mahrez completed the rout with a stunning free-kick in stoppage time. The victory extended City’s unbeaten league run to 15 matches and opened up an eight-point lead over Arsenal. It was also the first time they had scored five goals against the Gunners in a Premier League game. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged his team’s shortcomings after the match. “We were not good enough today,” he said. “City were better in every department and deserved the victory.” Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, praised his players for their clinical performance. “It was a perfect game from us,” he said. “We created chances, scored goals, and defended well. This is the level we need to maintain to win the title.” The result marked a significant setback for Arsenal’s hopes of winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004. They now face an uphill battle to overhaul City’s commanding lead. Manchester City, meanwhile, look unstoppable and are on course to secure a fifth league title in six years. Their demolition of Arsenal served as a stark reminder of their superiority in English football.
