#3 İlkay Gündoğan
The man with the captain's armband once again led his side, Manchester City, to a sensational victory. Having opened the scoreline in the 7th minute with a fine header, Gündoğan, made sure his team maintained their aggression.
Having made several trademark runs into the final third, the German managed to leave the Arsenal players stranded on numerous occasions. He was also successful in testing Leno in three instances with one finding the back of the net.
İlkay Gündoğan managed to keep his passing accuracy well above 90% and also had a fair share in chance creation.
#2 Gabriel Jesus
Another day, another fine performance for the Brazilian. With his assist to İlkay Gündoğan's opener, Gabriel Jesus moved up to second spot with three assists off three games, behind Manchester United's Paul Pogba (5).
He also fired past the already hurt Bernd Leno in the 43rd minute to bag Manchester City's 3rd. If it wasn't for Ferran Torres' heroics, Gabriel Jesus would undoubtedly have been City's best player for consecutive gameweeks.
However, by the way he played, we can be certain, should he have played the entire 90 minutes, the Brazilian had more tricks up his sleeves.
Pep Guardiola signaled his number 9 to get off the pitch in order to give him some rest, in the 61st minute, and to make way for Riyad Mahrez.
#1 Ferran Torres
Four shots, two goals, one assist and a fine evening at the Etihad handed Ferran Torres the Man of the Match award.
When he signed for Manchester City last year, many doubted his decision as the club was crowded with talented players and it was feared the former Valencia man would be wasting his youth days warming the bench.
However, Pep maintained his trust in the youngster and made him a part of his regular team. And now, the former Barca manager has found his new attacking spearhead in the 21-year-old following Aguero's departure.
Torres had a day to remember against Arsenal. The Spaniard was directly involved in three of Manchester City's 5 goals by bagging a brace (12', 84') and setting up Rodri.
