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.
