That's all from us here. I'm Rohith Nair, signing off! Hope you had as much fun following this live blog as Man City had in the final third of the Etihad.
Goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus give Pep Guardiola's side all three points. City are now eight points ahead of Manchester United (who play Chelsea later today).
Arsenal's only goal came from Alexandre Lacazette. They drop down to sixth place as Liverpool have the same goal difference but scored one more goal than the Gunners.
90+2' Ozil, who has been booked, has just barged into Delph with his eyes only on the player and not the ball launched by Cech from his own box. The referee doesn't book him again but Ozil is clearly furious and frustrated with this result.
90' It's 'Ole'time at the Etihad as each completed pass is cheered on by the fans. They string a dozen passes together before Kolasinac has had enough and concedes a foul to stop the move.
88' Giroud gets involved and attempts to recreate the goal against Norwich City with some fine hold-up play but City are up to the task with a clearance that almost initiates another counter-attack, snuffed out by Arsenal with yet another interception.
85' City fans in full voice now. They truly are seeing a special team that has been coached very well by Guardiola. Every player has done well today and they have played as a unit - a stark contrast to Arsenal's disjointed performance.
82' Koscielny makes another crucial interception before Sane can race through on goal on yet another City counter-attack. City still have the ball though, and they're drawing Arsenal out by keeping possession to help create space for their front three to exploit.
80' City in total control now. They're also able to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm whenever they get the ball, preventing any attacks with some tactical fouling.
David Silva slips past the Arsenal back-line and manages to stay onside (according to the linesman). As Arsenal wait for the flag to go up, Silva feeds Gabriel Jesus in the six-yard box and it's a simple tap-in for Jesus.
Replays show Silva may have been offside but it was a very tough call to make.
73' Stones tries to initiate an attack by accelerating forward but is quickly stripped of the ball. But before Arsenal can counter, Walker steps in from his position on the right and kills the attack with a crucial interception.
71' Lacazette is down after a challenge but the ref allow Arsenal to play on even though the linesman's flag is up. Arsenal manage to put the ball into the box but there's nobody in the box to put it away since Lacazette was down by the touchline.
68' JESUSSSS... SAVED! A City corner sees the ball fall to Jesus at the far post and his shot is fired with power. But Cech gets down quickly to prevent it from going over the line. Fine save!
67' Yet another Arsenal corner leads to a City counter-attack and Koscielny hacks De Bruyne down to prevent any further damage. He's got a yellow card for his cynical foul but that's what we call in football parlance a 'professional foul'.
Aaron Ramsey leads another Arsenal attack through midfield and then feeds Alexandre Lacazette the ball. The French striker fires a shot past the reeling Otamendi and beats Ederson to find the bottom corner.
63' It's end-to-end now, Silva's pass is snuffed out by Monreal and Arsenal counter now. But City respond by recovering quickly and setting up their back-line like recruits at boot camp who have just seen their drill sergeant coming around the corner.
59' Ozil almost finds Ramsey inside the box with a pass out wide but Ramsey can't get to it as Ederson also comes off his line to prevent a cross or shot on goal.
55'Iwobiiiii... Ederson nearly makes a mess of it! A long range strike sees the ball almost slip past his fingers but as he recovers, Ramsey barges into him and pushes him over the line with the ball in his hands. But the referee has called that a foul. Rightly so.
