Manchester City outplayed ten-man Arsenal on a sunny afternoon at the Etihad Stadium
Ilkay Gundogan and Ferran Torres scored in the first 12 minutes and any hope Arsenal had of a comeback was ended when midfielder Granit Xhaka was sent off for lunging into a challenge on Joao Cancelo.
Jack Grealish set up Gabriel Jesus for an easy third just before the first 45 minutes were. Rodri then guided home a fourth from 20 yards just after it.
Torres then added his second of the game and City's fifth with just six minutes to go.

City looked awesome in the first half and were much chilled and slower paced in the second. They have recovered well from their opening day defeat against Spurs. For Arsenal, this heavy defeat comes ten years since they were thrashed 8-2 against City's rivals Manchester United.
