Man City 5-0 Arsenal LIVE! Gunners thrashed - Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Manchester City vs Arsenal - LIVE!

The pressure continues to mount on Mikel Arteta after another horrible day for Arsenal at the Etihad.

The Gunners now sit at the bottom of the early 2021/22 Premier League table after losing three successive matches to open a season for the first time since 1954.

Despite a promising start, Arsenal trailed 2-0 after just 12 minutes on Saturday thanks to goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Ferran Torres that involved some truly abysmal defending.

Things went from bad to worse 10 minutes before the break when Granit Xhaka was rightly sent off for a two-footed tackle on Joao Cancelo.

Jack Grealish teed up Gabriel Jesus for a third City goal shortly before half-time and proceedings just inevitably got even uglier for 10-man Arsenal after the interval.

Arteta’s demoralised and overmatched side were left chasing shadows in what resembled an attack vs defence training match as Rodri and Torres added further goals, with only some solid saves from Bernd Leno preventing the punishment from being even worse.
