Five-star Guns stick boot into Pep flops

- JOHN CROSS

THEY waited 133 days for revenge - but Arsenal served it in some style at the Emirates.

Last September, this rivalry turned into a full-on grudge with Erling Haaland's "stay humble" jibe after Manchester City netted a last-gasp draw at the Etihad.

Well, this time it was Arsenal who humbled City with a demolition job which highlighted just how far Pep Guardiola's fading champions have fallen.

City collapsed like a pack of cards. They were so bad defensively that it became open season for the Gunners.

City have now conceded four or more goals for the fourth time this season which is the most in Guardiola's career. And it is beginning to look difficult to see how they come back from this.

And maybe the goal rush will mean Arsenal do not go into the transfer market before tonight's deadline. Who needs a striker when you can stick five past the champions?

As the goals flew in, the celebrations and taunts became more outrageous.
