Guardiola admits City are 'fragile' as Arsenal run riot

- Ed Aarons

Champions humbled

Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City's fragility was exposed by Arsenal as they were blown away in the final half-hour to leave their Premier League title defence in tatters.

Erling Haaland equalised Martin Ødegaard's opener after the break but Arsenal hit back with four unanswered goals as Mikel Arteta's side recorded their biggest win against City since a 5-1 victory at Maine Road in February 2003. Arsenal now find themselves six points behind the leaders Liverpool, who play their game in hand against Everton on 12 February, with City a further nine points behind in fourth spot.

It was the first time Guardiola has lost by a four-goal margin since becoming a manager in 2007, with City now having conceded four goals on four occasions this season. The City manager acknowledged their standards had dropped after Thomas Partey restored Arsenal's lead following a loose pass from Phil Foden.
