Ferran Torres bagged a brace as Manchester City thrashed Arsenal 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners are now without a win in their opening three games of the season piling pressure on under-fire manager Mikel Arteta.
The visitors made a terrible start after falling behind to Ilkay Gundogan’s seventh-minute header.

City doubled their lead just five minutes later through Torres’s close-range finish after yet more woeful Arsenal defending, then Granit Xhaka saw red for a two-footed lunge on Joao Cancelo ten minutes before half-time.
Gabriel Jesus added a third two minutes before the interval after fine approach play from Jack Grealish to end the game as a contest, with Torres heading in his second to complete the scoring six minutes from time.
Manchester City secured top spot following the win, while Arsenal drop to bottom of the table.
