Manchester City’s victory not only extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 but also sent a clear message to their rivals that they are the undisputed force in English football. Arsenal, meanwhile, suffered a humiliating defeat that underlined their need for significant improvement. Pep Guardiola hailed his team’s performance as “near perfection,” while Mikel Arteta admitted that his side had been “completely outplayed.” The result has further widened the gap between the two clubs, with City now top of the Premier League table and Arsenal languishing in 15th place.
