Arsenal 0-3 Manchester City: Kevin de Bruyne scores twice as City outclass Arsenal

Kevin de Bruyne scored his fifth and sixth Premier League goals of the season

Kevin de Bruyne scored twice as Manchester City produced a masterful display to beat Arsenal.

The Belgian's first goal came in only the second minute of the game when he rounded off a sweeping eight-player move.

De Bruyne's assist set up Raheem Sterling for City's second, and he made it 3-0 by half-time by curling in from outside the area with his left foot.

City remain in third place, 14 points behind leaders Liverpool, while Arsenal stay ninth in the table.
