Arsenal fans react after Man City thump Gunners at the Emirates

Arsenal were resoundingly beaten by Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, losing 3-0 at the Emirates.

The Gunners were outplayed from the off by the Premier League champions, on a sobering day for Freddie Ljungberg.

Kevin De Bruyne thumped City in front in the second minute, before he teed-up Raheem Sterling and then scored another himself before half-time.

Arsenal sit ninth in the Premier League table after this latest defeat, as their struggles continue.

These Gunners supporters reacted to the result on Twitter, airing their concerns.

Arsenal were not even close to getting a result on Sunday, with City on another level.

Some of the defending on show was appalling, while the majority of the Gunners’ attacking players failed to make an impact.

Gabriel Martinelli was one of the few positives, cutting a lively figure, unlike so many of his teammates.

This was a day that suggested Ljungberg is not the man to take Arsenal forward, as the search for a long-term successor to Unai Emery goes on.

matchday.
