In the first two rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal lost to Brentford away 2: 0 and then 2: 0 to Chelsea at home, so probably even the most optimistic fans of the Gunners did not expect that they will recover against Manchester City at Etihad and indeed, their shocking season opener only continued. Being tough and frustrating especially when they surrendered undefeated 5: 0 to the mighty champion.
Already after seven minutes, Gabriel Jesus picked up a great ball into the box, Callum Chambers missed the ball carelessly and Ilkai Gonduan slammed in.
0: 1 to Manchester City.
Five minutes later, in the 12th minute, City went up to 0: 2.
Bernardo Silva put in a ball, which was again missed by the visitors' two defensive players and Fran Torres took advantage of this to push close.
In the 35th minute Arsenal's chance to return to the game ended when Granit Jaka slid wildly towards Jose Cansello and saw the red.
It did not take long for City to show Chaka his negligent results and in the 43rd minute came the third.
Jack Grillish put a ball into the box and Jesus, who seemed to be leaving the club, sealed the first-half result.
In the 53rd minute, another goal came.
Torres found Rodry kicking a flat, accurate ball from 20 that left Bernard with no chance.
0: 4 to City.
In the 84th minute the dessert arrived.
Rhyme picked up a ball from the right and Torres hit the crossbar and inside.
0: 5 to Manchester City - Its biggest win ever over Arsenal.
FIVE!
