End of match

93'FT: Man City 5-0 Arsenal! The game is over in Manchester and there is little more to add, the result speaks for itself. The statistics are overwhelming for the home side and the Londoners have not managed to do anything, a very bad game for Arsenal. A historic win for City, who now have three consecutive home fixtures by five or more goals. Two goals and an assist from Ferran Torres who stands out from the rest of his teammates. Thank you very much and see you at 5pm BST, Liverpool-Chelsea!
