FREEZY DOES IT

Wenger stung in new City chiller ARSENAL ...... 0 MAN CITY ...... 3

- By PAUL BROWN

ARSENE WENGER was humiliated last night as Manchester City tore his sorry Arsenal side apart again.

Goals from Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Leroy Sane sent City soaring 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

It was more misery for under-fire Gunners boss Wenger, whose side were booed off.

The Emirates was half empty from the start but while Arsenal survived the Beast from the East, they were blown away by Pep Guardiola’s monsters from Manchester. City took 65 minutes to put three goals past them in the Carabao Cup final, but needed just 33 last night.

Ederson’s penalty save from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the second half just rubbed Wenger’s nose in it.

ARSENAL’S flaky stars gave under-fire Arsene Wenger the cold shoulder again last night.

For the second time in five days the Gunners capitulate­d to Pep Guardiola’s brilliant Treblechas­ers.

Never mind the Beast from the East that had put this rearranged Premier League clash in doubt.

It was the Force from the North that destroyed the softcentre­d home side again and put Wenger’s future in graver doubt.

Goals from Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Leroy Sane ensured a fourth defeat in five matches for the north London team, who played out this latest flop in a sparsely-populated Emirates Stadium – with many fans unable to make it because of the bad weather.

Their record in all competitio­ns in 2018 now reads P13 W4 D2 L7 and Sunday’s trip to the seaside to face Brighton looks
