Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City inflicted more pain on Arsene Wenger with a second crushing 3-0 victory over his Arsenal side in the space of four days.
After losing Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, the Gunners could not find any level of retribution as they were again humbled by far superior opposition in Pep Guardiola’s 100th game in charge.
Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Leroy Sane all scored wonderful first-half goals for City, who now require only five more wins to secure the Premier League title.
Arsenal were better than they were at Wembley but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s second-half penalty miss summed up their current form.
The game at the Emirates Stadium went ahead despite sub-zero temperatures and snowfall across much of the country.
Wenger must have been left wishing the fixture had fallen foul of the conditions as his players failed to weather another City storm.
So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery above for our player ratings.
