Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City : 5 key Talking points

#4 The temperature inside the Emirates was below par, and so were Arsenal

The game was played under the uncertainty of the freezing weather in London.

The lines on the pitch were painted blue to assist the officials should it start to snow. The precaution was taken to avoid errors in officiating the game should the visibility be affected by the snowfall.

Luckily for the officials, the match wasn't interrupted by snow, although 18 minutes into the game, the Frenchman in-charge of the home side would've wanted nothing more.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring after Leroy Sane glided past the Arsenal defence who flew into one failed challenge after another, none managing to hinder the German's progress who found the Portuguese. Silva, the lesser known in this City side, held off the Arsenal defence and curled the ball with his favorite left foot, up and beyond Cech in goal. The Czech's search for his 200th clean sheet in the Premier League goes on.

To be fair to Arsenal, they got off the blocks quicker and seemed to find the grit and determination that was shamefully lacking on Sunday. They managed to push City back and kept Ederson in goal busy right up until City managed to stitch together their first real move in the game.

And what a move it was to give Guardiola's side the lead!

Arsenal would've felt it came against the run of play, but by the time they could deal with it, City shred their defence to pieces a second, and then, a third time. Leroy Sane finding himself on the score-sheet, after the maestro David Silva had done the same.

Thirty-three minutes was all it took the commentators to vocalize their disgust. Commendable, considering it took me just ten.
