The hosts unleashed a relentless attacking onslaught that left the Gunners reeling and unable to keep pace. The Cityzens opened the scoring in the 20th minute through Julian Alvarez. Kevin De Bruyne doubled the lead from the penalty spot, and Erling Haaland made it 3-0 just before half-time. Arsenal struck back in the second half with a Granit Xhaka header, but Bukayo Saka’s own goal restored City’s three-goal advantage. Joao Cancelo then extended the lead to 5-1, and Jesus made it six for the hosts. The Gunners managed to salvage some pride with late goals from Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, but it was too little too late for Mikel Arteta’s side. Manchester City’s relentless pressure and clinical finishing proved too much for Arsenal’s defense. Haaland was unstoppable, scoring twice and proving once again why he is the most feared striker in the world. De Bruyne was also in top form with two assists and a goal. For Arsenal, the defeat exposed their defensive weaknesses and their struggles to compete with the league leaders. Xhaka’s goal was a rare moment of joy, but the overall performance was a disappointing setback. The result leaves Manchester City firmly at the top of the Premier League table with 51 points from 21 games, while Arsenal remain in second place with 40 points from 20 games. The Citizens will face Tottenham Hotspur in their next match, while Arsenal will travel to Burnley in the FA Cup.
