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!

  • 42'
    GOAL!! Man City 3-0 Arsenal! Jack Grealish is a great player, what a move by the Englishman who manages to cross for Gabriel Jesus and score with an empty goal after Grealish's great play. It's going to be a long game for Arsenal, to be honest...
  • 40'
    Good cross from Cancelo that Gabriel Jesus tries to get on the end of, but Leno was there.
  • 39'
    Another corner for City that is cleared well by the defence. City are far superior here.

    The match, which has started at a frenetic pace, has calmed down a little!
  • 11'
    GOAAALL!!! Man City 2-0 Arsenal. Guardiola's Man City scored again, now it was Ferran Torres who scored after a cross from Bernardo Silva, another huge mistake by Cedric Soares who failed to clear and the ball fell to Ferran who scored at his own pace in front of the goalkeeper.
Goaaaaaal!
