Loss leaves City nine points behind Arsenal in the tableStones says ‘Sorry to the fans that travelled to watch that’
Pep Guardiola admitted that Manchester City’s fragility was exposed by Arsenal as they were blown away in the final half-an-hour to leave their Premier League title defence in tatters.
Erling Haaland equalised Martin Ødegaard’s opener after the break but Arsenal hit back with four unanswered goals as Mikel Arteta’s side recorded their biggest win over City since a 5-1 win at Maine Road back in February 2003. Arsenal now find themselves six points behind leaders Liverpool, who play their game in hand against Everton next Wednesday, with City a further nine points behind in fourth spot.
