Arsenal fans, you might not want to read this one…
Arsene Wenger’s side succumbed to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Pep Guardiola’s Man City, who continued their near perfect start to the season.
The home side opened the scoring after Kevin De Bruyne fired a brilliant left-footed strike past Cech. The Gunners then found themselves two behind after Sergio Aguero converted a penalty that was won by Raheem Sterling.

This stat shows how bad of a start the north London side have had this season
Arsenal have lost four of their opening six away matches of a top-flight campaign for the first time since 1981. Not good. pic.twitter.com/zyEVNoec6a

Whilst these viewers were all praise for MOTM De Bruyne
I'm about 85% sure De Bruyne could win the Premier League on his own, whilst playing fly-keeper.
