Manchester City have started the season in an exemplary manner.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have started in the worst possible way.
Loss against Brentford and loss against Chelsea.
And the loss trend would not be broken against City.
Nightmare minutes for Arsenal
In Manchester City's first real attack, the guests were punched immediately.
Gabriel Jesus unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide.
Ilkay Gündogan met the ball with his forehead and Bernd Leno did not have a chance, even though he was on the ball.
Five minutes later, it would slam for the home team again.
Another entry from the right wing when the ball went straight through Arsenal's back line.
Then Ferran Torres was there and easily caressed 2-0.
The last time "The Gunners" were down 2-0 so early in a Premier League match was in 2017.
If the uphill was steep already then, it became increasingly steeper when Granit Xhaka pulled with an ugly tackle against Joao Cancelo.
And Xhaka looked surprised when he saw the red card with ten minutes left in the first half.
Then came the next blow - Gabriel Jesus extended for his City with the minutes left of the first half.
Steamed on in others
Arsenal were never really close and had no shots on goal.
City steamed on in the second half.
Already in the 53rd minute, Rodri was ahead to 4-0.
But it would not end there, Riyad Mahrez with the input against Ferran Torres could call himself two goal scorers when he put the final score 5-0.
