Manchester City had to face huge disappointment being down to ten men from the fifth minute of the game and as Samir Nasri beautiful opener, Alex Song’s powerful top corner shot and Nicklas Bendtner’s return goal were overwhelming for the home team. Even though City have performed well against the Gunners at the City of Manchester Stadium but they failed to do so this time.

Also, thanks to Song and Bendtner, Cesc Fabregas’ penalty miss can be ignored.

Manchester 0-1 Arsenal (Nasri, 20′)

Manchester City 0-2 Arsenal (Song, 65′)

Manchester City 0-3 Arsenal (Bendtner, 87′)
