A double from Ferran Torres inspired City to their second successive 5-0 home victory in the league and their ninth straight win over Arsenal but, in truth, they did not have to do much against the hapless 10 men. However, City did not need to play their usual slick, high tempo football given that Arsenal gifted them two early goals before going down to 10 men after 35 minutes following Granit Xhaka's needless two-footed lunge.Gabriel Jesus should never have been able to get to a long, hopeful crossfield ball before crossing for Ilkay Gundogan to score City's opener, the Germany international heading home after Calum Chambers had misjudged the flight of the ball.
"I don’t think today is the day to talk about any process. Today we have to talk about what happened on the pitch."The Gunners are only the second team in Premier League history to lose their first three matches in a season and have a goal difference of minus nine, after Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2003-04 who went on to finish bottom of the table.
