Arsenal had a brilliant start but only to concede a goal with their clueless defence at the back. 5 minutes later, City went 2-0 when Bernardo Silva\u2019s sizzling cross somehow evaded the whole Gunners defence only to find Ferran Torres for a simple tap-in.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal almost went close to score a goal when Man City\u2019s keeper Ederson made a huge blunder only for \u00a0Emile-Smith Rowe to get his shot wide leaving Mikel Arteta disappointed. Arsenal\u2019s were soon down to 10 men as Granit Xhaka was awarded a red card by referee Martin Atkinson on 35 minutes. Soon, City was 3-0 as Grealish made a good run only for Gabriel Jesus to finish as he slides the shot beating Leno again as City lead 3-0 in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>The city starts the second half with various counter-attacking plays as Arsenal found it difficult to cope up. 7 minutes later, City is 4-0 when Rodri takes a smashing shot from 25 yards to beat Leno again on the bottom right, crushing Arsenal\u2019s hopes. In the 84th minute, City were 5 up when Ferran Torres heads home his second goal after a cross from Riyad Mahrez.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FULL-TIME | What an afternoon at the Etihad! \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd37 5-0 \ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ManCity?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ManCity<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/axa0klD5re\">https:\/\/t.co\/axa0klD5re<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DIfDHTKEFO\">pic.twitter.com\/DIfDHTKEFO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Manchester City (@ManCity) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ManCity\/status\/1431608234146738176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Man City beats Arsenal 5-0 as they displayed an unbelievable and strong performance.
