Play by play
- 93'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Arsenal take the spoils in an entertaining fixture. Boyata's early red card had a huge impact, Nasri putting Arsenal ahead shortly after. Joe Hart saved a Fabregas penalty, but Alex Song and Nicklas Bendtner set the seal on the result for Wenger's men.
- 91'
Bacary Sagna nearly makes it four, dragging his low drive beyong the far post. That would have been extremely harsh!
- 90'
<b>THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>
- 90'
Fabianski makes another smart save, Kompany firing an effort from the edge of the box which he turns over the bar.
- 89'
This scoreline is certainly very harsh on Man City...
- 88'

The Dane curls a very neat finish beyond Joe Hart and into the far corner.
- 87'
Theo Walcott having a first sprint, running straight into Wayne Bridge and losing the ball.
- 85'
The game is looking well and truly over now, Arsenal not letting their oponents anywhere near the ball.

More Arsenal possession and it's exhibition stuff now for the Gunners.
- 81'
Man City are still looking to push forward, although they look very dejected.
- 80'
Fabregas glides past Kompany and lays off for Chamakh who blazes over. Arsenal could get another before the end.
- 79'
Arsenal are going up to second in the table, above Manchester United on goal difference.
- 78'
More overly-complex football from Arsenal! Nasri teeing up Rosicky, who instead of taking on the shot tries to find Chamakh and the chance passes. Why don't they shoot?!
- 77'
Arsenal are keeping possession very well and this will be frustrating for the City faithful.
- 76'
Nasri sprinting at City again, Kompany stands off and lets him run out of play, clever from the centre half.
- 75'
Arsenal's short corner comes to nothing, they really aren't good at them.
- 74'
Another Arsenal corner, they're looking for a killer third goal.
- 73'
What a save from Fabianski! Adebayor with a free header six-yards out that the Pole spectacularly repels! The offside flag was raised, but it was still very impressive.
- 72'
Denilson gives away a foul. Can City find a goal? They need one very soon if they are to have any hope in this game.

Bacary Sagna is lucky to have a free kick after making the terrible decision to run past Kompany.

Man City look dead on their feet, I don't know how much of that is fatigue or just disappointment.
