Manchester City Thrash Arsenal to Secure Premier League ThroneManchester City Thrash Arsenal to Secure Premier League Throne Manchester City unleashed a dominant performance at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night, thrashing Arsenal 5-0 to secure their fourth Premier League title in five seasons. The hosts dominated from the first whistle, with Kevin De Bruyne opening the scoring in the 24th minute. Riyad Mahrez doubled the lead before half-time with a brilliant curled effort. After the break, City continued to pile on the pressure. Mahrez grabbed his second goal of the night in the 57th minute, while Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte put the game beyond doubt with late strikes. Arsenal, who needed a win to keep their title hopes alive, were outplayed throughout the match. They struggled to create any clear-cut chances and were unable to contain City’s relentless attack. The victory confirms City as the undisputed champions of England. Pep Guardiola’s side have now won the Premier League title six times in the past decade, including three in the last four seasons. De Bruyne was named Man of the Match for his superb performance. The Belgian midfielder controlled the game from start to finish, creating numerous chances for his teammates. Mahrez also had a stellar night, scoring twice and assisting one. The Algerian winger has been in fine form this season, contributing to 35 goals in all competitions. For Arsenal, the defeat is a major setback in their title hopes. Mikel Arteta’s side now trail City by 15 points with just five games remaining in the season. The Gunners will need to regroup quickly as they face Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday. City, meanwhile, will be looking to continue their winning streak when they travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United.
